Import Tips
• Provide calibration certificates proving fare calculation accuracy to meet 'taximeter' definition and prevent shift to general electronics
• Declare if integrated with GPS; such features may require separate 8526 classification for navigation components
• Comply with local metrology standards, as inaccurate devices risk seizure under false measurement claims
