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
