Import Tips & Compliance
• Declare exact alloy composition (e.g
• W-Ni-Fe) with chemical analysis to meet alloy definition in Chapter notes
• For defense-origin scrap, obtain export licenses from origin country and check U.S
• ITAR restrictions
• Avoid compaction if it resembles briquettes, which may shift to unwrought forms
