Import Tips
• Document the machine's use in semiconductor manufacturing, as this may qualify it for classification under heading 84.86 instead
• Provide the CBSA with a detailed description of the notching process to confirm it is a cutting-off operation
• Verify whether the machine is eligible for duty-free treatment under the Information Technology Agreement if it is used in semiconductor production
