Import Tips
• Verify titanium purity and grade certification per ASTM B348 to confirm classification as unalloyed titanium
• Provide mill test reports (MTRs) documenting chemical composition to avoid misclassification as alloys
• Ensure proper documentation of dimensions to distinguish blooms from billets or bars
