Import Tips
• Submit technical specs showing forensic comparison capabilities (e.g
• stereomicroscopy integration) for proper classification
• Law enforcement end-use certificates may expedite clearance but not change HTS code
• Avoid classifying as general microscope camera under 9011 if forensic overlay software is absent
