Import Tips

• Verify power rating documentation exceeds 746 kW with manufacturer specs to avoid reclassification to lower power subheadings

• Include detailed end-use statements confirming semiconductor manufacturing application for statistical note compliance

• Prepare for CBP scrutiny on vacuum pump integration; provide assembly diagrams showing non-separability from crystal grower
