Import Tips
• Provide installation manuals and software source code documentation to demonstrate geophysical specialization
• Check for dual-use technology controls under EAR Category 3E991 for high-sensitivity seismic recorders
• Use ISF filings early due to potential scrutiny on geophysical survey equipment imports
