Import Tips

Provide detailed chemical composition certificates from the manufacturer to verify it qualifies as a copper master alloy under Chapter 74

Ensure alloy meets subheading note definitions for copper-base alloys; misclassification as unwrought copper (7403) is common

Declare exact phosphorus percentage on entry documents to avoid reclassification during customs review
