Import Tips
• Verify alloy composition via certified mill test report to confirm phosphor bronze status (tin predominant, phosphorus present)
• Ensure accurate thickness measurement documentation as exceeding 5mm dictates this subheading over thinner strips
• Avoid misclassification as brass by confirming tin > zinc and no excessive nickel content
