Import Tips

Provide detailed technical specifications and end-user statements confirming exclusive use for photomask inspection to avoid misclassification

Include semiconductor manufacturing certifications and comply with export control regulations (EAR/ITAR) for high-tech optics

Verify laser safety classifications and ensure FDA/CDRH compliance if optical components require it
