Import Tips
• Verify machine specifications confirm exclusive use for PCB manufacturing to qualify under this subheading; general-purpose lasers fall elsewhere
• Include detailed technical datasheets and end-user statements in documentation to prove 'solely or principally' for printed circuits
• Ensure laser safety certifications (e.g
• FDA Class IV compliance) and CE marking for smooth customs clearance
