Import Tips
• Provide recycling chain-of-custody documents to distinguish secondary bullion from scrap and meet EPA import requirements
• Test for hazardous contaminants; levels above thresholds may trigger additional hazmat declarations
• Label shipments clearly as 'lead bullion' to prevent customs hold for reclassification as waste
