Import Tips & Compliance
• Specify particle size and surface area in invoices to distinguish from compounds; customs often challenges powders
• Pyrophoric hazard labeling mandatory; pitfall is explosion risk during inspection without inert handling
• Export license may apply from origin; verify Wassenaar Arrangement compliance for dual-use
