Import Tips
• Document the alloy composition (lead, antimony, tin) to support classification as unwrought lead alloy
• Check if the pigs are considered 'waste and scrap' under section note 8, as scrap is classified differently
• Be aware of potential restrictions on lead use in printing if the pigs are for artistic or educational purposes
