Import Tips
• Provide evidence of compatibility with ultra-pure gases and pressure specifications to confirm semiconductor-specific use
• Ensure FDA or equivalent cleanroom certifications for valves contacting process fluids in wafer production
• Avoid common pitfalls by declaring actuator type accurately to prevent reclassification as manual valves
