Import Tips

Provide detailed engineering specs proving semiconductor manufacturing use to avoid reclassification to general machinery parts

Include end-user certificates from chip fabs to qualify for potential duty exemptions under HTSUS semiconductor provisions

Ensure HS declaration matches statistical notes for wafer manufacturing equipment to prevent customs holds
