Import Tips
• Specify 'manual thread counting' use in invoices to distinguish from automated textile testing machines
• Provide scale calibration details if included, confirming it's not a measuring instrument under 9031 per chapter note
• Avoid importing with machine mounts to prevent exclusion under note 1(a)
