Import Tips
• Include safety data sheets due to beryllium toxicity; customs may require special handling declarations
• Document intended use in copper alloy production to avoid classification as beryllium metal preparations under Chapter 81
• Provide assay certificates showing copper predominates to maintain Chapter 74 classification
