Import Tips
• Document research/lab end-use to distinguish from industrial inspection excluded by Chapter note 1(a)
• Provide magnification specs and optical path diagrams if customs questions stereoscopic classification
• Avoid bulk packaging resembling machine components which could trigger Section XV reclassification
