Import Tips
• Provide chemical purity certificates and Safety Data Sheets (SDS) confirming it's a vanadium hydride, not a carbide, to avoid misclassification
• Ensure packaging complies with DOT hazardous material regulations if shipped as reactive powder; declare as UN1404 if applicable
• Verify end-use documentation to distinguish from industrial alloys, preventing reclassification under Chapter 72
