Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'photographic enlarger for still images' to prevent confusion with video equipment
• Obtain supplier certification confirming no motion picture compatibility, addressing Chapter 90 exclusions
• Watch for voltage compatibility (110V vs 220V); mismatched specs lead to customs holds on electrical optical apparatus
