Import Tips
• Certify with ISO 13485 for medical-grade to streamline FDA/CBP clearance alongside tariff classification
• Prevent misdeclaration as scrap by including ultrasonic testing reports showing structural integrity
• Use NAICS 331491 for statistical reporting; bundle with master alloy certs if blended
