Import Tips
• Provide boule diameter specs (150-450mm) and flat grinding documentation to confirm semiconductor classification
• Label as 'for semiconductor crystal growers/pullers' to distinguish from general metalworking grinders
• Check for dual-use classification requiring BIS export licenses due to precision tolerances
