Import Tips

• Obtain certificate of analysis confirming titanium content and impurities to meet assay reporting requirements without deductions

• Verify origin documentation as many suppliers are from Australia or Sierra Leone; ensure compliance with US conflict minerals rules

• Avoid misclassification as synthetic rutile by confirming natural extraction status; common pitfall is overlooking radiation screening for monazite impurities
