Import Tips
• Obtain assay certificates verifying vanadium content and confirming less than 2% copper, lead, or zinc to avoid reclassification
• Declare exact metal content per statistical notes; provide origin certificates for slag residues
• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring as advanced material, which shifts to other 2620 subheadings
