Import Tips
• Verify vanadium content certification from supplier to confirm classification under ferrovanadium; discrepancies may lead to reclassification
• Ensure material safety data sheets (MSDS) accompany shipment due to hazardous dust potential during handling
• Declare exact chemical composition on entry documents to avoid customs holds for Chapter 72 alloy verification
