Import Tips
• Supply third-party purity certification (>99.5%) to justify battery grade and prevent downgrade to technical under same HTS
• Segregate from hydrated forms in manifests; pitfall is cross-contamination claims leading to re-testing
• Check BIS export controls if dual-use for advanced batteries; include end-use statements
