Import Tips
• Verify classification under statistical note 4 by providing manufacturer specs confirming semiconductor fab compatibility, such as cleanroom-grade materials and ESD-safe features
• Include detailed technical datasheets and end-user declarations for cleanroom use to avoid reclassification during CBP review
