Import Tips
• Submit manufacturer specs highlighting electronic gauging for semiconductor crystal growers to justify heading
• Avoid common error of bulk packaging classification; document as finished weighing machinery, not parts
• Comply with export control docs if dual-use for sensitive semiconductor tech
