Import Tips

• - Verify tantalum content via certified assay reports to confirm classification under 2615.90.60.60 and report exact metal quantity without deductions

• - Obtain origin certificates due to conflict mineral regulations (Dodd-Frank Act) requiring due diligence for coltan from Central Africa

• - Beware of misdeclaration as niobium ore; improper blending can lead to reclassification and penalties
