That's actually awesome if DL are willing to act as a middleman and ship us CNI handhelds.
Is pretty much all DL does or has ever done - they are a middle man company renaming and reselling, at retail prices, CNI products. All of the DL hand helds DL ordinarily sells are CNI made hand helds.
You can obtain any of CNI products from any of CNI's 22 Distributors worldwide. They can all sell CNI products if they wish to subject to the laws, rules, and regulations of the Country they are located in and some in spite of same.
See:
Contact CNI
The problem for hobby people if they want to order directly from CNI is that CNI itself will not ship hand helds to USA. CNI was were caught doing so in violation of FDA rules a few times, were visited by an FDA representative, and were put on the Import Alert 95-04 "red" list 2/15/2015 which they would like to be removed from.
See:
Import Alert 95-04
To be removed for the red list requires the following according to the above Import Alert:
"In order to remove a firm from detention without physical examination, information should be provided to FDA to adequately demonstrate that the manufacturer has resolved the conditions that gave rise to the appearance of the violation, so that the agency will have confidence that future entries will be in compliance. For example, when appropriate, the request should include information for FDA to adequately assess whether the manufacturer's quality control and testing program is in compliance with the Electronic Product Radiation Control Act (Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, Chapter V, Subchapter C) and 21 CFR 1010.2 and their laser products comply with the Federal Performance Standard for Laser Products (21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11). In addition, under 21 CFR 1002.10(k), the importer must provide other information CDRH may reasonably require to determine whether the importer is in compliance with the Electronic Product Radiation Control Act and applicable standards."
PS IF you look at the list --Dragon Lasers has been on the Import Alert 095-4 since 7/16/2012 . Their real name on the list is:
Changchun Dragon Lasers Co., Ltd.
Yizhong Mingcheng, G2-403high Tech Zone,, Jilinjilin, CHINA
So what that means is:
CNI itself is attempting to comply with US FDA laws, rules and regulations as a responsible manufacturer.
