Import Tips
• Obtain a certificate of analysis confirming >99% titanium content to avoid reclassification as alloy scrap under Chapter 81 notes
• Declare exact origin and generation process (e.g
• machining waste) on entry docs; common pitfall is undervaluation leading to audits
• Ensure compliance with EPA recycling regs if scrap contains contaminants from industrial use
