Import Tips & Compliance

• Provide plasma gas flow specifications and cutting amperage range to distinguish from welding torches during customs review

• Ensure proper labeling of input voltage requirements (208-575V) for electrical import certifications

• Include user manual confirming cutting/gouging applications to prevent reclassification as Chapter 85 equipment
