Import Tips & Compliance
• Determine whether the chips are considered 'waste and scrap' under Section Note 8(a) — if they are not definitely unusable, they may be classified as articles
• Provide documentation of the machining process and alloy composition
• Ensure the chips are clean and free of contaminants
