Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificates verifying molybdenum content (typically 65-75%) and low phosphorus/sulfur levels to confirm classification as ferromolybdenum
• Ensure proper labeling of alloy composition and origin to avoid misclassification as molybdenum metal (2616.90)
• Watch for anti-dumping duties from certain origins like China
