Import Tips
• Determine whether the machine's primary function is profiling (which may be considered grinding) rather than sawing, as this could affect classification
• Provide the CBSA with technical documentation showing the machine's cutting mechanism and NC control
• Verify if the machine qualifies for duty-free entry under the Information Technology Agreement if used in semiconductor production
