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
