I've been tracking this issue for a while, and the Customs Regs are clear enough. What I'd like to know is if anyone has any experience with the B709B and B710 forms. The B710 appears to cover "proposed" import and does not deal with the above scenario.

The info I got along with the B710 form allows for this. If the item is here before approval has been given, customs will hold or seize the laser and notify the owner who will then get B390 reciept for goods or a seizure notice. The owner must then gain approval via the B709B, fill out the B710 and post the B390 along with these as well as photo ID, evidence of end use and pictures of the laser. This will apply to any laser travelling through customs after July 1 2008 no matter when it was purchased.
The rest is up to each state to regulate ownership of the lasers.
