Import Tips
• Submit photos/specs showing ESD-safe design and wafer size compatibility (e.g
• 300mm) for classification support
• Pair with buyer letters confirming use in cleanroom semiconductor environments
• Watch for reclassification if trays resemble general packaging—emphasize semiconductor handling function
