Import Tips
• Confirm E Ink display specs in documentation to distinguish from LCD tablets; include screen resolution and refresh rate details
• Obtain BIS export licenses if sourcing from restricted countries; declare as consumer electronics not data processing machines
• Watch for common pitfall of mislabeling storage capacity—over 32GB may trigger scrutiny for tablet reclassification
