Import Tips
• Verify tungsten content exceeds 99% by weight via certified assay reports to confirm classification under Chapter 81
• Provide mill test certificates documenting composition to avoid misclassification as alloys under general metal headings
• Ensure proper labeling of hazardous properties if coated, as tungsten carbide dust poses inhalation risks during customs inspection
