Import Tips
• Provide particle size analysis to distinguish from powder form; sieve test required for compliance
• Declare intended end-use (e.g
• catalysis) but classify based on form, not use; EPA TSCA may apply for chemical imports
• Watch for alloy contamination; if ruthenium exceeds predominance, reclassify per alloy rules in chapter note 4
