Import Tips
• Provide evidence of use in semiconductor wafer processing areas, like vibration-dampening specs, for statistical note compliance
• EPA/CARB diesel emission certifications required for US entry; non-compliant units face detention
• Avoid pitfall of reclassification by specifying platform load capacity for fab equipment handling
