Import Tips

• Verify machine specifications confirm slotting function for semiconductor materials to avoid misclassification into Chapter 90 testing apparatus

• Include detailed technical datasheets and end-use statements proving metal/cermet removal in import documentation

• Check for dual-use controls if machine handles sensitive materials like gallium arsenide; obtain necessary export licenses from origin country
