Import Tips
• Obtain EPA TSCA certification and ensure compliance with Toxic Substances Control Act due to arsenic's high toxicity
• Ship with UN-approved hazardous material packaging (UN1544) and include Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for DOT/IATA regulations
• Verify purity documentation to avoid reclassification as alloy or compound; common pitfall is mislabeling as industrial waste
