Import Tips & Compliance

Verify particle size grading with sieve analysis certificates to distinguish from ungraded scrap under 8104.20

Include material safety data sheets (MSDS) due to magnesium's flammability risks during transport

Ensure purity documentation (>99% magnesium) to avoid reclassification as alloys in Chapter 81
