Import Tips
• Verify the barometer is not combined with thermometers or hygrometers to ensure correct classification under 9025.80.1500
• Provide calibration certificates and proof of standalone functionality for customs clearance
• Label accurately as 'barometer only' to prevent reclassification as a combined instrument
