Noticed this thread on the VCF forums and thought that it would be
pertinent to folks here, in case anyone else (like me) was unaware:

The TL;DR seems to be that, if you're exporting vintage electronics out
of the USA, it *needs* to have clear and detailed customs documentation
to have a *chance* of passing through customs without being delayed,
returned, or seized. Seems to definitely be happening to items with
vague descriptions like "computer parts" or stated to be non-working.
