Import Tips

• Verify purity certificate from supplier showing >99% nickel content to confirm non-alloyed status

• Include mill test reports (MTRs) documenting chemical composition for CBP classification

• Avoid misclassification as nickel alloys by ensuring no intentional addition of other metals
