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
