Import Tips & Compliance
• Clarify whether the machine uses a laser or other photon beam, as laser-based machines are classified under 8456.10.00
• Provide evidence of its principal use in PCB assembly for heading 8517 parts to support classification
• Consider the end-use of the machine to determine if any duty relief programs apply
