Import Tips
• Verify machine specifications confirm use for metal or cermet deburring with abrasives to avoid reclassification to Chapter 84 general machinery
• Include detailed technical datasheets and end-use certificates in documentation to prove it's not for semiconductor wafer processing
• Check for dual-use restrictions if the machine can handle non-metal materials, as this may trigger additional scrutiny
