Import Tips

Provide lens interchangeability proof and value documentation to confirm non-fixed-focus status and avoid misclassification

Label shipments clearly as 'photographic cameras for 110 film' to prevent confusion with modern digital or APS formats

Check for asbestos-free shutter mechanisms, as older models may trigger EPA restrictions on import
