Import Tips
• Document build volume and supported metal alloys to confirm industrial additive manufacturing classification
• Ensure export licenses if system includes high-power lasers (>1kW) subject to export controls
• Avoid misdeclaration as consumer-grade by specifying aerospace/medical production capabilities
