Import Tips
• Include chemical composition cert from producer; US Note requires <99% titanium but no other metal dominant
• Avoid bundling with fittings; pitfall leads to 8108.90.60 general rate instead of Free (C)
• For welding rod sets, declare as individual if not retail packaged to prevent set classification
