Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'APS-format SLR for magnetic 24mm film' to expedite CBP review and avoid general camera misclassification
• Include battery compatibility certification (CR2 lithium) as obsolete power sources may trigger hazmat documentation
• For bulk imports, segregate by model to prevent averaging duties if mixed with non-APS EOS bodies
