Import Tips
• >- Ensure the stage is presented with documentation proving its sole or principal use in mask or reticle manufacturing, as this supports classification under 8486.40.00
• Be aware that if the stage is imported as part of a larger mask writer system, the entire machine may be classified together under the same item
• Have technical specifications ready to show the CBSA officer that the stage is not a general-purpose positioning table
