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
