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
