Selling handheld lasers or laser kits over 5mW output power is illegal in the US according to the FDA. You can, however, build a laser of any power you wish from parts you purchase from various sources as long as the parts are not promoted specifically for use in such lasers.
Yet there are various semi-finished laser kits on ebay. like "add host+heatsink" ones..

So the 2 lasers I just ordered will be confiscated? I really would hate to loose $500+ as I'm just a poor lad![]()

Not too likely.
startlight did not mention if the these two lasers meet FDA safety requrements etc. If these units meet the requirements then they are by law legal to import.
This site is well know outside of this forum. starlight, if these lasers do not meet these requirements keep your mouth shut.
So what you mean is, for lasers selling to the US, you only need to have a switch and registered with FDA, then it is somehow legal and can be imported?
