Import Tips
• Provide evidence of thermal imaging technology (e.g
• 405nm or 830nm laser specs) to distinguish from conventional photographic cameras
• Declare plate size compatibility (e.g
• up to 28x40 inches) and RIP software integration in entry docs to support printing-specific use
• Watch for anti-dumping duties on certain Asian-origin platesetters; obtain scope rulings if components are imported separately
