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
