Import Tips

Provide detailed technical specifications confirming numerical control and internal cylindrical grinding function to avoid misclassification as non-NC machinery

Include end-user statements specifying use in semiconductor equipment manufacturing to qualify for potential duty relief programs

Ensure machine calibration certificates are available, as US Customs may inspect for compliance with precision finishing standards
