Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Verify lead purity exceeds 99% by weight to avoid alloy classification under statistical notes; provide mill test certificates

β€’ Comply with EPA and TSCA regulations for lead imports, including proper labeling for hazardous materials

β€’ Avoid misclassification as roofing material which may shift to Chapter 68 if combined with other substances
