Import Tips & Compliance

Batch import declarations should specify consumer vs commercial use to determine correct statistical suffix

Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'thermometer' which shifts classification to different subheading

Include user manuals showing non-recording function to prevent erroneous recording instrument classification
