Import Tips

• Verify the tube's exact specifications including phosphor type and deflection angle to confirm non-high definition projection classification under subheading 8540.12

• Obtain manufacturer technical datasheets as supporting documentation for Customs to distinguish from high definition or color tubes

• Avoid misclassification as parts (8540.91) by ensuring the tube is complete and suitable for direct incorporation into a projection TV chassis
