Import Tips

Verify zinc content certification (min 85% metallic zinc) and particle size analysis to confirm HTS 7903.90.60.00 classification

Provide Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for handling hazardous fine powders during customs clearance

Avoid misclassification as zinc powder by proving vapor condensation method via manufacturer specs
