Import Tips
• Confirm the lapper is not classified under heading 84.86 if it is solely for semiconductor wafer manufacture; the CBSA may require a ruling
• Keep documentation on the lapping process and materials to support the mineral-working classification
• Consider whether the machine qualifies for duty-free entry under a free trade agreement
