Hi guys, and apologies in advance if this thread already exists; I don't have much time before I need to take action on this issue!
So I'm tossing up buying a 30mW 12mm Module from eBay (and yes I'm aware the odds are it'll be of a crap standard) and a host pointer shell for a 12mm diode from the same seller.
The reason I'm here to ask for your help is because I live in Australia, and anyone who knows anything about lasers here knows that pointers themselves are banned if they are greater than 1mW.
My question is: Can I import the housing (declared as a pen housing) and then in a separate package the module (declared as an electronic component) will customs take my parts and issue me a warning?
Also for anyone who has experience, will a 3.7V 532nm 30mW diode emit a visible beam? if so what variables are needed to display this beam?
Cheers in advance,
Yenssen
