Import Tips
• Include lab-use certification and voltage compliance (e.g
• 208-480V) in shipping docs to support laboratory equipment status
• Declare exact work zone volume (<50L typically) to distinguish from industrial models
• Avoid reclassification by specifying integrated resistance heating vs. external furnace setups
