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
