Import Tips
• Label equipment clearly as 'for PCB manufacturing only' and include process flow diagrams in entry docs
• Conduct binding ruling requests for hybrid plasma systems to confirm dielectric loss primacy
• Avoid misclassification by distinguishing from general surface treatment machines in 8424
