Import Tips
• Verify alloy certification showing nickel >1% and zinc <1% to meet copper-nickel base alloy definition
• Provide mill test reports confirming profile extrusion (not bar/rod) to avoid reclassification
• Watch for anti-dumping duties on certain cupro-nickel from specific origins like Japan
