Import Tips

• Verify numerical control certification and provide technical specs confirming use in semiconductor wafer slicing to avoid misclassification

• Include end-user statements specifying semiconductor manufacturing to qualify for potential duty exemptions or preferences

• Ensure compliance with export control regulations like EAR for high-precision saws used in advanced tech sectors
