We have invested considerable time and materials in research and development to produce the referenced product. Permanent confidentiality: Disclosure of the permanently confidential portions of this application to competitors would not only give them significant competitive advantages in developing similar products, but would also disclose successful implementation of unpublished, leading edge technology developed by us. Short-term confidentiality: Disclosure of the short-term confidential portions of this application during the period of importation and/or distribution would reveal key aspects of proprietary technology to competitors and diminish the value of our investment in research and development. If you have questions or need further information, please contact the undersigned. Sincerely, ________________ Yuki Wu Certification Engineer 2019-12-12 2
