Import Tips
• Include assembly instructions if sets contain multiple protractors to prove they function together as a drawing system
• Label materials accurately (acrylic vs glass) as glass protractors might trigger Chapter 70 review
• Check for set vs individual item declarations; complete sets stay in 9017.20.80 while singles might face different statistical suffixes
