Import Tips
• Provide OEM part numbers and compatibility diagrams to confirm it's not a universal stapler
• Document electrical and mechanical interlocks proving dependence on photocopier power/control
• Label clearly as 'photocopier accessory only' to prevent reclassification as general office equipment
