Import Tips
• Verify the device measures vehicle speed or RPM, not integrated into aircraft/medical instruments (headings 9014/9015)
• Include calibration certificates and user manuals to prove non-technical machine use per chapter note 1(a)
• Label accurately to avoid reclassification as parts of heading 9033 if not principally for tachometers
