Import Tips

• Obtain laser safety certifications (e.g

• FDA CDRH compliance) and include detailed technical specs in entry docs to avoid misclassification

• Declare beam type (photon/fiber) and metalworking capacity; common pitfall is undervaluing software-integrated systems

• Ensure CE marking for EU-sourced machines and prepare for BIS export control checks on high-power lasers
