Import Tips

Provide end-use statements linking to specific wafer fab tools to argue for machinery classification

Cleanroom certification (ISO 14644) and particle count specs strengthen parts-of-machines claims

Avoid general 'ceramic valve part' descriptions; specify semiconductor process compatibility
