Import Tips
• Verify furnace specifications confirm use for metal melting like silicon, not electric heating to avoid Chapter 85 misclassification
• Provide detailed technical documentation on temperature capabilities and material compatibility for customs valuation
• Ensure compliance with semiconductor equipment statistical notes; declare as non-electric industrial furnace
