Import Tips

• Ensure the machine is described as grinding semiconductor wafers, not metal, to avoid reclassification under Chapter 84.60

• Provide the CBSA with the machine's technical documentation showing its automated handling and grinding functions

• Check if the equipment qualifies for duty relief under the Machinery Remission Program
