Import Tips
• Label batteries and power adapters per UN 38.3 standards for lithium-ion components to pass CBP inspection
• Declare as 'cinematographic' not 'video' to prevent shift to Chapter 85; include film format certification
• Watch for undervaluation penalties on vintage items; appraise based on functional condition and rarity
