Import Tips
• Provide chemical analysis showing cobalt as non-dominant but significant element per Chapter 81 alloy note
• Segregate from pure ferrous scrap to prevent reclassification; use radiation-free certifications for steel scrap
• Declare as scrap only if unfit for direct remelting without processing; finished tools go to 8207
