UChicago's High-Tech Laser Bid Busted by Deadline Drama

Published Date: 3/3/2025

Notice

Summary

The University of Chicago asked to bring in a special fiber laser amplifier from China without paying import taxes, but their request was denied because they didn’t prove that no similar U.S.-made instruments exist. They missed the October 4, 2024 deadline to fix and resubmit their application, so the denial stands. This means the university will have to pay duties or find another way to get the equipment.
