Import Tips
• Distinguish from copper alloys by declaring phosphorus content <0.015%; higher shifts classification
• Profile engineering specs must show uniform cross-section; variable sections risk bar classification
• Require supplier UNS designation C12200 certification for consistent tariff treatment
