Import Tips
• Document vacuum certification (e.g
• <10^-8 Torr outgassing) and cleanroom packaging requirements
• Use 'semiconductor crystal grower parts' on commercial invoice for proper statistical reporting
• Avoid generic 'bearing balls' descriptions to prevent misclassification as automotive/general use
