Import Tips
• Verify machine specifications confirm metalworking laser process to avoid reclassification under Chapter 84 general machinery
• Include detailed technical datasheets and end-user declarations for CBP review to prove semiconductor exclusion if applicable
• Ensure laser safety certifications (e.g
• FDA CDRH) and obtain proper import permits for high-power photon beam equipment
