Import Tips
• Verify lead content via assay certificate to confirm <99% lead and highest metallic element per statistical note
• Include material safety data sheets (MSDS) for hazardous classification and EPA compliance
• Avoid misclassification as pure lead; test for alloy composition to prevent duty adjustments
