Import Tips
• Document screen angle specifications (15°, 45°, 75°) to prove specialized photographic function versus general optical filters
• Use HTS ruling requests for hybrid digital/analog screens to confirm 9002.90.70.00 applicability
• Bundle with customs bond coverage for high-value precision screens prone to damage claims
