Import Tips
• Include spectroscopic analysis reports proving no metallic impurities exceeding trace levels to confirm pure tellurium status
• Label shipments clearly as 'elemental tellurium' to prevent CBP confusion with tellurides or alloys
• Watch for REACH-like restrictions on tellurium imports; prepare SDS for hazardous material handling
