Import Tips
• Provide manufacturer specs linking the bipod to GPR models under 9015 to substantiate geophysical accessory status
• Ensure labeling indicates 'for geophysical use only' to distinguish from general-purpose bipods
• Document material composition accurately, as high alloy content may trigger additional metallurgical certifications
