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
