Import Tips
• Provide beam wavelength specs (e.g
• 1070nm for fiber) to confirm 'other light/photon' classification vs
• CO2 lasers
• Include user manuals and power ratings in customs docs; watch for pitfalls in declaring optional automation modules
• Comply with OSHA laser safety standards and prepare EPA declarations for coolant systems
