Import Tips
• Obtain IEC 60945 environmental testing certification to prove maritime suitability and avoid reclassification
• Declare integration capabilities with ECDIS systems in entry docs; pitfall is undervaluing as simple sensor
• Ensure vendor provides gyro-stabilization performance data to distinguish from basic magnetic compasses
