Import Tips

• Include detailed technical specs confirming monochrome phosphor processes and faceplate dimensions to prevent misclassification as color tubes

• For medical end-use, prepare FDA documentation but classify based on tube construction under Chapter 85, not end-use

• Check for radiation shielding; if present exceeding standard levels, it may require evaluation against radiation-hardened camera notes (though not applicable here)
