Import Tips & Compliance

• Provide electrochemical certificates proving 99.9% nickel content for non-alloyed verification

• Document production method (e.g

• hot extrusion) to distinguish from cold-formed products

• Watch for reclassification if cut into specific anode shapes exceeding wire profile limits
