Import Tips & Compliance
• Include particle size distribution analysis to distinguish from granules and support powder classification
• Comply with ITAR/EAR export controls even on imports; declare end-use in CBP 7501
• Test for hydrogen content (<50 ppm) to avoid reclassification as alloyed material
