Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide a certificate of analysis showing chromium and silicon content to confirm it meets the ferro-silico-chromium definition
• Note that the exothermic property does not affect classification, but the alloy must be in primary forms (pigs, blocks, lumps, etc.)
• Ensure the goods are not considered waste or scrap under Section Note 8(a)
