Import Tips
• Verify compatibility with theodolite mounting standards (e.g
• 5/8-11 thread) and include technical specs in documentation to confirm classification
• Provide manufacturer specs showing exclusive design for heading 9015 instruments to avoid reclassification as general tripods
• Check for anti-dumping duties on aluminum imports and ensure origin certificates for duty preference programs
