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
