Import Tips
• Ensure the lapping plate is declared as a part of a machine of heading 84.65, not as a standalone tool, to benefit from the correct duty rate
• Keep documentation showing the principal use with wafer lapping equipment to support classification
• Verify whether the plate qualifies for preferential tariff treatment under a free trade agreement
