Import Tips
• Provide chemical composition analysis from accredited lab to substantiate tin alloy status and lead percentage for CBP verification
• Label shipments clearly as 'unwrought tin alloy ingots' to prevent misclassification as finished pewter articles under Chapter 83
• Check for Proposition 65 warnings if importing to California due to lead content exceeding safe harbor levels
