Import Tips
• Provide chemical composition analysis certificate confirming tin predominance and bronze alloy status per subheading note (b)
• Declare exact alloy type and origin; misclassification as brass (zinc-dominant) leads to wrong subheading
• Ensure scrap is clean of hazardous contaminants to avoid EPA import restrictions on metal waste
