Import Tips & Compliance

• Include commercial invoice specifying CAS number (if assigned) and trade name linking to 2942.00.03.00; generic 'nickel stabilizer' descriptions trigger exams

• For bulk powder imports, ensure anti-dusting agent additives comply with Chapter 29 note (g) and don't change classification
