Import Tips
• Ensure the chuck is classified as a part of semiconductor manufacturing equipment and not as a general-purpose tool, as this affects the applicable duty rate
• Have documentation ready to prove its sole or principal use in boule grinding, such as technical specifications or a letter from the manufacturer
• Verify if the importer qualifies for any duty relief programs, such as the Machinery Remission Program, which may reduce or eliminate duties on certain machinery parts
