Import Tips
• Submit mill test reports verifying tin content predominates per HTS subheading note (b); aluminum bronzes often qualify
• Segregate from brass scrap during sorting to prevent reclassification and duty errors
• Comply with Basel Convention if scrap contains hazardous residues from prior use
