Import Tips
• Provide sensor compatibility certificates and interface specifications to demonstrate FDR-specific function
• Ensure anti-static packaging and ESD protection documentation for sensitive avionics imports
• Watch for pitfalls in declaring as 'general sensor boards' which could trigger reclassification
