Import Tips
• Include ADS-B compliance documentation and TSO-C199a certification for civil aircraft approval
• Declare GPS module specs separately if modular; common error is classifying as general radio transmitter
• Ensure packaging specifies 'for civil aircraft use only' to match HTS criteria and avoid general electronics duties
