Import Tips
• Verify CE marking and FCC compliance for electrical components to meet U.S. import standards
• Include detailed technical specifications and calibration certificates in documentation to avoid reclassification
• Ensure laser safety classifications are documented, as infrared spectrometers often incorporate Class 1 lasers
