Import Tips
• Ensure the rods are not classified as unwrought bismuth (8106.10.00) by confirming they are cast or worked into a specific shape
• Provide a certificate of analysis showing bismuth content exceeds 99% or is the predominant metal
• Declare the product's end-use (e.g
• fire safety) to avoid misclassification
