Import Tips
• Obtain mill test certificate confirming aluminum purity ≥99% and no alloying elements exceed note limits (Fe+Si ≤0.1%)
• Ensure accurate measurement of tube dimensions; misclassification as 'alloyed' common pitfall if certifications missing
• Declare as 'other' non-aircraft tubes; provide end-use documentation to avoid reclassification
