Import Tips
• Obtain FCC certification and test reports proving signal generator functionality to avoid misclassification as general test equipment
• Include detailed technical specs and user manuals in documentation to confirm it meets 'signal generators' definition under HTS 8543
• Verify export controls from origin country as high-end RF generators may require BIS licenses for dual-use technology
