Attention US fans of the Laser Aided Profiler! As the tariff war is still raging, it's just been announced that the US import tariffs will jump to 30% starting August 1, 2025. That unfortunately means that the LAP, built in the EU, is getting much more expensive for American customers.

If you are thinking about acquiring one profiler for your archaeological endeavors, now is the time to make a decision. Post us a quick quotation inquiry at [email protected]. There's still (a little) time.

Although Laser Aided Profiler is optimized for pottery fragments, it can profile different materials, including metal.
