Import Tips
• Submit assay reports confirming boron content and copper matrix to distinguish from commodity copper alloys
• Declare as 'master alloy for foundry use' on commercial invoice to prevent confusion with finished copper products
• Watch for valuation issues; master alloys command premium pricing over base copper
