Import Tips

• Verify lead purity exceeds 99% by weight via certified assay reports to confirm classification as lead bullion, not alloys

• Include smelter certificates and origin documentation to comply with environmental regulations like TSCA for lead imports

• Avoid misclassification as scrap by ensuring bullion is in coherent bar form, not fragmented or contaminated material
