Import Tips
• Verify cleanroom compatibility certifications (ISO 14644) and include material safety data for ESD-safe components in documentation
• Provide evidence of semiconductor-specific design (e.g
• vacuum chucks or alignment sensors) to justify classification under statistical note provisions
• Avoid misclassification as general material handling by detailing wafer handling features; common pitfall is lacking process integration specs
