Import Tips
• Include user manual excerpts proving astronomical purpose, distinguishing from surveyor's levels (9031)
• Check for dual-use claims—certify non-machine applicability to stay in 9005
• Avoid pitfalls by separating accessory eyepieces if not dedicated mountings; declare as sets carefully
