Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify gyrocompass meets IMO SOLAS standards for shipboard navigation equipment with proper type approval certificates
• Include detailed technical specs and vibration/shock test reports in documentation to confirm classification as navigational instrument
• Avoid misclassification as aircraft parts by specifying marine end-use; common pitfall is lacking vibration resistance certification
