Import Tips
• Provide assay reports showing boron-to-vanadium ratio to confirm boride identity and avoid alloy misclassification
• Use anti-static packaging and label as 'flammable solid' if pyrophoric; comply with USPS Publication 52
• Document non-carbide status explicitly, as borocarbides redirect to 2849
