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
