Import Tips
• Verify the tin content is below 3% if zinc is also present, per subheading note 1(b), to ensure correct bronze classification
• Include the alloy composition on the bill of lading to avoid delays at the border
• Check if the flakes are intended for marine coatings, which may require additional environmental compliance documentation
