Silicon Wafer Lapping Stationary Turbine Blades from Germany
Stationary blades in steam turbine-driven lappers that flatten silicon wafer surfaces to nanometer tolerances post-slicing. These blades guide lapping plates for ultimate flatness in semiconductor fabrication. They are classified under this tariff item as other stationary blades for steam turbines, not for repair or remanufacture.

Import Tips
• Ensure the blades are declared as steam turbine parts, not semiconductor manufacturing equipment, to avoid misclassification
• Provide the CBSA with technical data showing the blades are for steam turbines
• Verify if the blades qualify for duty-free treatment under trade agreements
