Import Tips

• Verify the camera's official specifications confirm 'specially designed for underwater use' to justify 9006.30 classification; general waterproof cameras may fall elsewhere

• Include manufacturer certifications and technical datasheets in documentation to prove special design features during customs review

• Avoid misclassification as consumer electronics (HTS 85); highlight underwater-specific adaptations like pressure-resistant housings
