Import Tips
• Request mill test certificates showing vanadium recovery rates above 98% to support purity claims during customs review
• Package in sealed nitrogen-flushed containers to prevent oxidation; declare packaging type on commercial invoice
• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring as scrap metal, which shifts to Chapter 72 heading 7204
