Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If piglets with 98-99.7% magnesium content
Purity levels dictate subheading within unwrought magnesium hierarchy.
If contaminated or considered ferrous scrap alloy
Significant iron content would reclassify away from pure base metals.
If pre-formed into extrusion billets
Semi-working into specific profiles changes from unwrought to wrought category.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Specify 'pig' or 'sow' form on commercial invoice to confirm unwrought status
• Test for tramp elements like iron/ nickel that could disqualify purity threshold
• Use heat-numbered lots for easy verification during customs audits
