Label equipment clearly as 'for metalworking' and provide cut samples demonstrating material removal to support classification

Comply with OSHA laser safety standards and include training manuals in documentation for customs clearance

Watch for undervaluation pitfalls; include full automation options (shuttle tables) in declared value
