Import Tips & Compliance
• Declare the exact purity percentage on the commercial invoice to support classification as a chemically defined compound
• Be prepared to provide a technical data sheet showing the minimum 98% purity
• If the flakes contain additives beyond impurities, verify they do not render the product suitable for a specific use
