Import Tips
• Provide original manuals or spec sheets confirming APS/magnetic film specs to support classification during customs review
• For used imports, obtain shutter count verification to assess value and prevent undervaluation penalties
• Ensure lens mount compatibility declared separately if imported without body to avoid parts classification issues
