Import Tips
• Obtain mill test certificates verifying zirconium content (>65%) to confirm classification as ferrozirconium
• Ensure proper hazardous material declarations if packaged in bags exceeding certain weights
• Common pitfall: misclassification as zirconium metal under Chapter 81 if iron content is too low
