Import Tips

• Provide beam deflection specs and compatibility data showing principal use with lasers to distinguish from general scanners

• Label packages clearly as 'laser system parts' to prevent CBP reclassification during inspection

• Obtain supplier declarations confirming not suitable for camera or projector use
