Import Tips & Compliance
• Document battery compartment and weatherproofing as integral features, not accessories, for proper optical instrument classification
• Avoid describing as 'toy' or 'novelty' in marketing materials imported with unit to prevent Chapter 95 exclusion
• Certify optical system uses multiple lenses for compound magnification >10x to distinguish from heading 9013 simple microscopes
