CNC Slotting Machine for Semiconductor Wafers from Japan
This precision CNC slotting machine cuts narrow slots and grooves into semiconductor wafers during fabrication preparation. Despite being numerically controlled, it is designed for slotting operations that remove material from wafers, which may include cermet materials. It falls under tariff item 8461.20.90 as an 'other' slotting machine, unless its semiconductor-specific function takes precedence.

Import Tips
• Determine if the machine is solely for semiconductor fabrication, which would classify it under 8486.20.00
• If it is a general-purpose slotter, ensure the CNC feature is documented, as it may fall under 8461.20.10
• Provide end-use documentation to support classification
