Import Tips & Compliance

Document filament compatibility (1.75mm plastic only) to distinguish from multi-material or metal printers

Ensure FDA compliance if for medical prototypes; affects documentation but not HTS

Avoid declaring as 'toy' - proper machine classification prevents higher toy duties
