Import Tips
• Document collapsible mechanism as optical mounting accessory to stay within 9005; separate mechanical parts risk 9033 classification
• Ensure customs review focuses on parabolic mirror specs confirming astronomical optimization, not industrial alignment
• Bundle with protective case but declare as set for retail to avoid part-by-part duty assessment
