Import Tips

• Verify wafer purity and doping status with certificates of analysis to confirm classification under 2853.90.90.10; doped wafers shift to 3818

• Include detailed technical specs (diameter, thickness, orientation) in commercial invoices to avoid misclassification as finished semiconductor devices

• Comply with US export controls on GaAs materials under EAR due to potential dual-use in electronics and defense applications
