Import Tips
• Provide cross-section photos or samples showing plastic as the primary covering to confirm classification
• Avoid bulk packaging that might suggest industrial parts; retail-ready units stay in 4202
• Label clearly as 'binocular case' to distinguish from general tool bags under the same heading
