is more suitable. If it's a magnetic tape recorder with sound reproduction,8519.81.41.10
is appropriate. - Material and Components: Please confirm the materials used in the VCR's construction.
- Date of Import: The additional tariff rates change after April 2, 2025. The import date will determine the applicable tax rate.
