Import Tips
• Verify zinc purity certificate showing at least 97.5% zinc content to meet 'not alloyed' definition and avoid reclassification
• Provide mill test reports confirming bar form and dimensions; common pitfall is mislabeling rods as bars
• Declare exact weight and HS code precisely to prevent valuation disputes during customs inspection
