Import Tips
• Verify lead purity exceeds 99% by weight with mill test certificates to avoid alloy classification under statistical notes
• Include safety data sheets (SDS) documenting non-hazardous handling for customs clearance and EPA compliance
• Declare exact dimensions and intended use to prevent misclassification as lead plates or sheets
