Import Tips

Submit manufacturer's assay reports with each shipment; CBP frequently audits ferroniobium purity claims

Avoid bulk packaging without liners—moisture can cause surface reactions affecting declared composition

Label clearly as 'ferroniobium' not 'niobium iron' to prevent misclassification as unwrought alloys
