Import Tips

• Provide stage movement specs (e.g

• micron precision) to confirm dedication to 9012 microscopes

• Declare as 'dedicated SEM accessory' on entry forms to avoid scrutiny as general lab equipment

• Check for vacuum compatibility certification, common pitfall leading to reclassification
