Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'foundry grade FeCr' to distinguish from steelmaking grades during inspection
• Comply with ISPM 15 for wooden pallets used in bulk ferroalloy shipping to avoid quarantine
• Watch for alloy segregation in containers; tumble or layer loads properly to maintain uniformity
