Import Tips
• Verify titanium content is under 99% by weight with mill test certificates to confirm alloy status
• Include documentation proving attached fittings are integral for gas/liquid conduction to qualify for Free (C) rate
• Avoid misclassification as pure titanium (8108.20) by specifying alloy elements in commercial invoice
