Import Tips
• Thermal imaging explicitly included if radiation-hardened; distinguish from night vision (8525.83) in documentation
• Include operating temperature specs showing nuclear environment qualification (-40°C to +85°C typical)
• Avoid misclassification by specifying 'video camera recorder' function vs pure thermal sensor
