Import Tips
• Distinguish between consumer terminals (potentially 8517) and aerospace-integrated units requiring spacecraft classification documentation
• Provide FCC certification and spectrum allocation details to support entry as satellite communication hardware
• Watch for anti-dumping duties on Chinese-origin phased array antennas disguised as spacecraft parts
