Import Tips

Provide material safety data sheets (MSDS) detailing reactivity with water; DOT requires Class 4.3 packaging

Confirm thickness under 6mm to maintain 'unwrought' status; thicker sheets risk classification as plate

Check end-use declarations to prevent diversion to restricted nuclear applications under export controls
