Import Tips
• Obtain manufacturer's declaration confirming the system is 'provided with means for photographing the image' per HTS note
• For fluorescence models, document laser safety compliance (Class 1 or 3R) for customs clearance
• Avoid splitting shipment of microscope body and camera to maintain single HTS classification
