Import Tips
• Verify machine specifications confirm laser operation primarily for metal working to avoid reclassification to general material provisions
• Include detailed technical datasheets and end-use statements in documentation to prove metal-specific application
• Check for dual-use features; if capable of significant non-metal work, it may face higher scrutiny or different rates
