Import Tips & Compliance

Verify exact video display diagonal measurement across the visible faceplate per US Note to Chapter 85 to confirm 39-45 cm range and avoid misclassification

Provide phosphor imprinting process documentation and shadow mask details to prove it's a finished color TV picture tube, not a part or component
