Import Tips
• Provide manufacturer specs showing CCTV-specific threading (CS or M12) to confirm principal use
• Avoid common pitfall of insufficient lens-camera compatibility documentation leading to Chapter 90 classification
• Declare focal length and aperture precisely; mismatches can trigger CBP re-examination
