Import Tips
• Provide certificates of analysis confirming aluminum purity >99% for non-alloyed scrap to avoid misclassification
• Ensure scrap is free of steel, plastic, or organic contaminants; common pitfall is rejection due to improper sorting
• Declare exact origin and recycling process in entry docs to qualify for duty-free treatment under recycling provisions
