Import Tips

Critical to document tin content specifically; aluminum bronzes can be contentious between 7403.22 and 7403.29

Use FDA-compliant packaging if eventual end-use is food contact bearings

Verify country of melt and pour origin; Section 232 tariffs may apply to certain steel/metal imports
