Import Tips
• Document saw blade tolerances and wafer thickness specs to confirm classification
• Avoid common error of classifying with general saw blades under 8202; must prove principal use with 8456-65 machines
• Obtain BIS export control checks if dual-use tech applies to semiconductor fab equipment
