Import Tips
• Document that the saw is for slicing semiconductor boules, not metal, to avoid reclassification under Chapter 84.61
• Provide the CBSA with the machine's specifications showing it handles brittle materials
• Consider whether the saw qualifies for duty relief under the Machinery Remission Program
