Import Tips
• Obtain FCC Part 80 certification for marine VHF radios to meet US Coast Guard import requirements
• Document GPS integration specifically for navigation to prevent reclassification as pure communication equipment
• Declare as navigational appliance if equipped with DSC/GPS; otherwise, it may shift to telecom headings
