Import Tips
• Include detailed chemical analysis reports showing Al 6% and V 4% to confirm alloy status per US notes
• Label shipments clearly as 'titanium foil' to prevent confusion with strip under different metallurgical rules
• Watch for undervaluation pitfalls; base value on titanium spot prices plus processing to avoid audits
