Import Tips
• 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
