Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the pellets are not classified as hafnium powders (which may fall under a different subheading) by checking particle size and form
• Include a certificate of analysis showing hafnium purity to support the classification
• Check if the pellets are eligible for duty deferral under the Customs Bonded Warehouse program if used in manufacturing
