Import Tips & Compliance
• Specify intended use in commercial invoice (e.g
• 'For electroplating only') to prevent food/pharma reclassification
• Test for chloride content (<50 ppm) required for metal finishing applications; document results
• Use anti-caking stabilized packaging per Chapter 29 note (f) to maintain free-flowing powder
