Import Tips
• Verify chemical purity and composition via certificate of analysis to confirm classification as chromium carbide under Chapter 28
• Include Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and proper hazardous materials declaration if shipped as powder to avoid delays
• Avoid misclassification as finished coatings; classify as raw carbide powder only
