Import Tips
• Verify equipment power exceeds 5,000 kW and confirm semiconductor application via technical specs to qualify under statistical note 1
• Provide detailed engineering drawings and end-use certificates proving use in wafer manufacturing to avoid misclassification
• Ensure compliance with export controls like Wassenaar Arrangement for high-tech semiconductor equipment
