Import Tips
• Provide evidence of projection-specific neck diameter and pin configuration differing from direct-view tubes
• Declare country of manufacture accurately, as many legacy CRTs originate from Japan or Korea
• Avoid bulk shipments misclassified as scrap; certify tubes as functional or refurbishable
