Applied Materials Centura Rotary Compressor from Japan
A stationary rotary air compressor rated at 15 kW, designed for high-purity gas delivery in semiconductor wafer fabrication cleanrooms. It falls under HTS 8414.80.1665 due to its power range exceeding 11.19 kW but under 22.38 kW, stationary rotary configuration, and use in semiconductor manufacturing processes like crystal growth support.

Import Tips
• Verify motor nameplate rating and certify power between 11.19-22.38 kW with manufacturer specs to avoid misclassification
• Include cleanroom certification docs; these are often used in semiconductor fabs requiring ISO Class 1 compliance
