Loadpoint Micro ACE Stealth Dicing Machine from Japan

The Loadpoint Micro ACE Stealth Dicing Machine is an ultra-precise CNC saw using stealth laser-induced cutting-off for stress-free semiconductor wafer separation. It removes material via internal fracture but is structured as a numerically controlled sawing machine. This falls under 8461.50.90 as a sawing machine for cutting-off cermets, despite the laser technology.

Import Tips

• Confirm with CBSA that the stealth dicing process is classified as sawing, not laser cutting, which may fall under different headings

• Provide technical documentation on the material removal mechanism

• Verify if the machine is numerically controlled, which could affect classification
