Import Tips
• Verify the microscope's optical magnification capability exceeds 10x to confirm classification under heading 9011, not simple magnifiers
• Include detailed technical specs showing compound lens system in commercial invoice to avoid misclassification as a toy or camera accessory
• Ensure LED illumination is integral and not detachable, as separate lighting may trigger parts classification under note 2
