Import Tips
• Include detailed origin certificates linking to specific industrial processes like die casting
• Report metal content via assay for statistical reporting, avoiding common undervaluation pitfalls
• Label clearly to distinguish from finished zinc alloys, preventing reclassification as Chapter 79 goods
