Import Tips
• Verify sponge purity certification (e.g
• ASTM B299) and provide mill test reports to confirm unwrought status and avoid misclassification as waste
• Ensure proper hazardous material declarations if sponge contains residual magnesium or chloride from Kroll process production
• Use NA form for defense-related imports; common pitfall is incorrect valuation excluding processing loss allowances
