2-inch Undoped Gallium Arsenide Test Wafer from Japan
A 2-inch undoped gallium arsenide test wafer is used for process control and calibration in semiconductor fabrication. Chapter Note 8 to Chapter 28 states that chemical elements doped for electronics are classified in this chapter only in unworked forms; however, gallium arsenide is a compound, not an element. Undoped wafers cut into discs or wafers fall under heading 3818, not this tariff item.

Import Tips
• Verify the correct classification: undoped gallium arsenide wafers cut into discs are classified under heading 3818, not 2853
• Provide a detailed product description and end-use to the CBSA to support classification
• Consider requesting an advance ruling to avoid reclassification and potential penalties
