Import Tips
• Verify the cylinder is specifically designed for linear acting pneumatic systems in semiconductor equipment; provide engineering specs showing wafer processing application
• Include manufacturer certification that it's not for general industrial use
• Watch for misclassification as semiconductor testing apparatus in Chapter 90
