Import Tips
• Provide engineering specs showing it's a general support, not integrated with optical instruments, to avoid Chapter 90
• Include treatment certificates for wood to comply with ISPM 15 international shipping standards
• Declare end-use as 'surveying support' on invoices to differentiate from hiking poles
