Import Tips
• Document specific wavelength filters and UV safety features to prove specialized optical instrument status
• Classify UV LED illuminator as integral part; separate lighting excluded by note 1(h)
• Include application notes showing research microscopy use, avoiding medical diagnostic descriptions
