Import Tips
• Verify AGV automation features and cleanroom compatibility certifications to confirm classification under statistical note 4
• Include semiconductor end-use documentation to avoid reclassification as general forklifts
• Ensure ESD-safe materials and electric motor specs are detailed in invoices to prevent customs disputes
