Here's where I stand. I plan to make a small laser show company here in Columbus, OH. I know I need to be varianced, I know my projector needs to be varianced, and I know each venue has to be varianced. I've ordered DT-40 Pro scanners, with AlphaliteXC Pro software and interface. I purchased a $300 casing (w/ shipping) which I'm now finding out I spent $250 too much for because although the casing was varianced, I found out it doesn't legally transfer. Now I'm finding that without an accession number, I can't "legally" import a laser, and so I'm stuck with all this gear, with no laser, and a huge amount of CDRH red tape in my face anywhere I consider buying one.
I feel like this idea is falling apart before it ever started. I'm sitting here with a very tight budget (now sitting at about $2000) and I still have no laser, which is kind of important for a laser show company. I'm calling a CDRH rep tomorrow, and possibly my area variance officer to see if I can sort things out, but I must say that today has been a very discouraging day.
