Import Tips
• Submit detailed alloy composition analysis proving titanium dominance to prevent Chapter 81 other metal alloy classification
• Blend homogeneity certification required; segregation leads to reclassification as mixture
• Special processing instructions for pre-alloyed sponge melting—declare to avoid parts misclassification
