Import Tips
• Include calibration procedure documentation linking fixture exclusively to photogrammetrical stereoplotters
• Obtain advance ruling from CBP specifying photogrammetrical end-use to mitigate reclassification risks
• Avoid bulk packaging that suggests general machine parts under Section XVI exclusions
