Wafer Slicing Diamond Saw
A high-precision saw that projects coolant liquid while an inner-diameter diamond blade slices semiconductor wafers from crystal boules. It is classified under this tariff item as an 'other' appliance for projecting liquids, as the coolant projection is a secondary function to the cutting operation.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the saw is for cutting materials other than semiconductors
Machine-tools for working stone, ceramics, or similar materials are classified in 84.64.
If the saw is solely for slicing semiconductor wafers
Semiconductor manufacturing machines are classified in 84.86 per Note 11.

Import Tips & Compliance
• The saw's principal function is cutting, so it may be classified as a machine-tool (e.g
• 84.64 or 84.86) rather than a spraying appliance — consult CBSA
• If classified under 84.24, ensure the coolant projection is the primary function
• Verify if the saw requires any safety certifications under Canadian machinery regulations
