Import Tips

Document laser wavelength and emission line detection range confirming UV/visible optical radiation for elemental analysis

Safety certifications for Class 4 lasers mandatory; ensure not classified as laser apparatus under 9013.20

For alloy sorting applications, provide lab vs industrial use distinction to maintain 9027 classification
