Import Tips
• Provide magnification range and optical path documentation proving stereoscopic compound nature, distinguishing from simple magnifiers
• Label as 'laboratory optical instrument' to prevent reclassification as educational toy under Chapter 95
• Include user manual showing non-technical, general microscopy applications to stay in 9011 rather than measuring instruments
