Import Tips
• Include metrology certificates proving grinder achieves <1μm flatness tolerances required for semiconductor wafers
• Document turbine RPM range (10,000-50,000) and diamond wheel specifications in entry paperwork
• Avoid misclassification by specifying semiconductor boule application vs general metal grinding
