Import Tips & Compliance

Provide spectrographic analysis reports verifying scandium content >99%; common pitfall is mislabeling as alloy

Use vacuum-sealed packaging for import; exposure to air causes ignition risk during customs inspection

Register with BIS if end-use involves defense applications due to strategic material controls
