Import Tips

Verify the enlarger is explicitly for still photography, not cinematographic use, to avoid reclassification under heading 9007

Include detailed technical specs and user manuals in documentation to prove non-cinematographic function per Chapter 90 notes

Check for LED or halogen light source compliance with energy import regulations; common pitfall is missing CE marking for optical components
