Import Tips
• Include spectrographic analysis to prove >99% purity; mislabeling as scandium mixtures can trigger reclassification
• Comply with ITAR if destined for defense applications; common issue is inadequate safety data sheets for pyrophoric risks
• Batch traceability required for REACH; avoid bulk shipments without individual lot certifications
