Well, at least over here age is no term within this calculation.
It's all about the right duty class number - and there are ZILLIONS
(well ok, a little less, but it is a book of more than 3000 pages
with several dozend numbers per page ... and you have to find the
exact type - of course almost all lead to two or three simplyfied
charges, but you have to have it - for example, is a radio module
(to be used on a radio reciver card) a radio, a PC component, an
electronic component, a comunication device or ... or ... or.
At the moment I have this problems with the customs in Bremen, about
my small pile of stuff from my last US visit ... 20 Boxes with some
eq, from a coco2 up to an RK05J... And the officers hate to look for
these numbers ...
Gruss
