Import Tips
• Verify compatibility with heading 9006 cameras via invoices; exclude cinematographic gear to avoid reclassification
• Include technical specs and photos in documentation to prove it's a dedicated camera accessory, not general furniture
• Watch for pitfalls like importing with camera sets, which may shift to Chapter 90 as complete apparatus
