Import Tips
• Submit lab analysis reports verifying nitrogen content >90% to confirm classification as chemically defined nitride
• Label shipments with UN number 3088 if classified as hazardous solid; obtain proper IMDG/ADR certifications for ocean/air transport
• Avoid bulk ferrovanadium nitride mixes, as they may reclassify under 7202.50 as ferrosilicon-vanadium
