Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificates verifying alloy composition meets phosphor bronze definition (tin predominant, zinc <10%)
• Declare exact outer diameter and wall thickness; exceeding certain sizes may shift to other subheadings
• Avoid misclassification as brass by confirming tin content exceeds 3% and predominates over zinc
