Import Tips
• Verify purity certification from supplier via chemical analysis reports to confirm ≥99.99% silicon content for proper classification
• Ensure documentation includes material safety data sheets (MSDS) due to fine dust hazards during handling
• Avoid misclassification as semiconductor wafers; ingots must be unworked forms per Chapter 28 notes
