Import Tips
• Provide lab certification and throughput specs (<50kg/hr typical for lab units) to support small-scale classification
• Label as 'for research use only' if applicable to potentially qualify for duty relief under academic imports
• Check for FDA compliance if filaments contact food/pharma, affecting accessory classifications
