Import Tips
• Reference statistical notes for semiconductor equipment; prove mold makes handling carriers, not processing wafers directly
• Include cleanroom certification (ISO 14644) and ESD test data in import documentation
• Classify based on principal use; wafer transport carriers vs. fab processing molds affects chapter placement
