Import Tips
• Provide evidence of SEMI standards compliance (e.g
• SEMI E15 for cassette interfaces) in import declarations
• Document wafer size compatibility (200mm/300mm) to confirm semiconductor-specific design
• Avoid classifying with general conveyors; specificity to semiconductor cleanrooms is key to this HTS
