Import Tips & Compliance

Include NIST-traceable calibration certificates to support value declaration and prevent undervaluation disputes

Declare exact density and purity to distinguish from lead or steel counterfeits, common in scale weight imports

Check for anti-dumping duties if sourced from non-market economies, as tungsten products face scrutiny
