Import Tips
• Verify the device is handheld and not mounted for machine use to avoid reclassification under excluded technical apparatus in chapter note 1(a)
• Include detailed specifications on magnification power and lens material in commercial invoices to support classification as a simple optical magnifier
• Avoid bundling with lighting attachments that could shift classification to illuminated magnifiers in 9013.80.5000
