Import Tips
• Obtain scrap metal export permits from origin country and verify refined copper purity certificates (min 99.9%) to avoid reclassification as alloy scrap
• Declare exact composition via lab assay reports; mislabeling as unrefined can trigger audits and penalties
• Comply with Basel Convention for transboundary scrap movement; use ISRI scrap specifications for uniform grading
