Import Tips
• Include material certificates showing high-temperature alloy construction suitable only for crystal growth
• Declare as 'semiconductor crystal grower parts' on commercial invoice for proper statistical reporting
• Avoid classifying with puller machine; import separately to leverage lower duty rates
