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
