Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide test indicator certificates; customs may inspect for accuracy claims on packaging
• Avoid bulk packaging mimicking machine parts; retail presentation supports Chapter 90 classification
• Declare magnetic base separately if detachable to prevent set classification issues
