Import Tips

Include XRF or XRD analysis certificates to prove silicide composition and chemical definition

Classify as ORM-D or per IATA packing instructions for fine powders to prevent inhalation risks during customs inspection

Differentiate from silicon-doped vanadium metal, which may fall under 2804.69 if elemental
