Import Tips

• Confirm that the mold is not classified as semiconductor manufacturing equipment under heading 84.86, which has different duty rates

• Provide technical documentation showing the mold's role in glass preform shaping, not electronic component assembly

• Ensure the mold's value reflects any specialized coatings or materials used
