Import Tips

• Verify purity and composition certificates to confirm unwrought status and avoid reclassification as waste/scrap under 8108.30

• Provide mill test reports (MTRs) documenting chemical analysis, as titanium ingots must meet ASTM standards for Chapter 81

• Ensure proper packaging to prevent oxidation; declare exact weight and alloy content to prevent undervaluation penalties
