Import Tips
• Submit doping percentage certificates to prove it remains a simple metal oxide salt, not a complex excluded product
• Label as hazardous if fine powder poses inhalation risks, with NIOSH-compliant packaging
• Monitor for preferential tariff treatments under USMCA for qualified North American origins
