Import Tips
• Verify purity certification (SiO2 >99.99%) to confirm fused quartz classification per Chapter 70 notes
• Include technical specs and end-use statements proving semiconductor furnace application to avoid reclassification
• Ensure proper documentation of thermal shock resistance (>1000°C) as common CBP scrutiny point
