Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify lead purity exceeds 99% by weight to avoid alloy classification under statistical notes; provide mill test certificates
• Comply with EPA and TSCA regulations for lead imports, including proper labeling for hazardous materials
• Avoid misclassification as roofing material which may shift to Chapter 68 if combined with other substances
