Import Tips
• Submit engineering specs proving fittings conduct fluids/gases under pressure to secure Free (C) treatment
• Label clearly as 'titanium alloy' (<99% Ti) to distinguish from pure titanium waste/scrap headings
• Avoid bulk packaging; retail-ready units reinforce 'articles thereof' classification
