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
