Import Tips
• Russian copper subject to Section 232 national security tariffs (currently 100% additional duty); calculate accordingly
• Require radiation certificates due to Norilsk mining practices; US customs increasingly scrutinizes
• Ensure cathode weight marked correctly (typically 110-125kg per sheet) for accurate duty computation
