Import Tips
• Obtain NRC or DOE export/import license prior to shipment; verify specific activity exceeds 74 Bq/g
• Provide detailed radioactivity documentation including decay chains and half-life data
• Use Type B packaging compliant with IAEA SSR-6 for transport; avoid common pitfalls like incomplete shielding specs
