Import Tips
• Use binding ruling requests for modular components to lock in 9006 classification vs. machinery parts
• Document automation features (e.g
• multi-beam imaging) but emphasize photographic exposure function
• Avoid common pitfall of undervaluing high-tech optics; use transaction value based on replacement cost quotes
