Import Tips
• Provide recycling process certification to confirm non-iron/steel origin and industrial extraction intent
• Label containers with exact metal assays; pitfall is underreporting silver leading to duty adjustments
• Verify no municipal waste origin to prevent shift to 2621; include end-user affidavits
