Import Tips
• Include material compatibility certificates proving cermet/metal processing to distinguish from optical polishing equipment
• Declare exact abrasive types (stones vs. products) in entry summary for accurate duty assessment
• Ensure no semiconductor-specific features, as those redirect to Chapter 84 statistical notes
