Import Tips
• Prove compatibility solely with drawing compasses via technical specs to avoid parts classification
• Weight declarations critical for large metal sets potentially triggering Section XV review
• Include end-use statements confirming drafting applications, not machine tool use (excluded by Chapter Note 1(g))
