Import Tips
• Provide CAD drawings or photos demonstrating exact fit for wafer dimensions to justify classification
• Ensure labeling specifies 'for semiconductor wafers' to support special design claim during customs review
• Avoid delays by pre-classifying with CBP if importing high volumes for fab use
