Import Tips
• Include gemological certification references in documentation to justify classification for inspection rather than general reading
• Ensure no mounting hardware is included, as that could reclassify under machine-specific parts per chapter note 2
• Declare exact magnification and confirm glass lens to avoid plastic article classification
