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
