Import Tips
• Verify molybdenum content via lab analysis to confirm classification under 3824.99.34.00; improper testing leads to reclassification
• Include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and composition certificates in documentation for customs clearance
• Ensure labeling complies with TSCA for chemical imports containing heavy metals like molybdenum
