Import Tips & Compliance

Highlight specialized photographic functions like t0.1-t0.5 flash timing in import documentation

Ensure sensors qualify as using 'optical radiations' (UV/visible/IR) per heading language

Avoid describing as 'luxmeter' which could trigger 9030 classification for general light meters
