Import Tips
• Verify magnesium content exceeds threshold via lab analysis for proper 3824.99.93.86 classification; misclassification risks penalties
• Include material safety data sheets (MSDS) and foundry usage certification in documentation to prove desulfurization purpose
• Avoid common pitfall of classifying as basic magnesium metal (8104) by emphasizing reactive mixture composition
