Import Tips
• Label as 'handheld magnifying glass for personal use' to differentiate from excluded technical or machine-related optics
• Provide magnification ratio and confirm no electrical components to prevent misclassification as powered devices
• Check for textile or leather handles that might invoke exclusions under chapter note 1(a) or 1(b)
