Import Tips
• Verify purity certificate from refiner confirming 99.9%+ iridium content to avoid reclassification as alloy under note 5
• Declare exact weight and value precisely; iridium's high market price requires accurate invoices to prevent customs valuation disputes
• Obtain CITES or export licenses if sourced from conflict regions, as PGM mining regulations apply
