Import Tips & Compliance

• Provide detailed technical specs proving use solely with 8456-8465 machines for semiconductor processing to justify 'jigs and fixtures' classification

• Include end-user certificates from semiconductor fabs to prevent reclassification to Chapter 90 testing apparatus

• Ensure FDA or cleanroom compatibility docs if for silicon wafer prep to avoid customs holds
