Import Tips
• Ensure the etcher is described as operating by photon beam processes, not solely by thermal or chemical means, to support classification under 8456.12.00
• Have technical specifications ready for CBSA to verify the machine's function
• Verify whether the machine falls under heading 84.86 for semiconductor manufacturing equipment, which may take precedence
