Import Tips
• Provide detailed chemical analysis confirming nickel ≥5% and zinc <10% if tin present to avoid bronze misclassification
• Label as 'unwrought' on commercial invoice; semi-finished forms like tubes go to 7411
• Watch for statistical suffixes—use 7403.29.0110 specifically for these base alloys
