Import Tips
• Submit fabrication drawings and material specs confirming pure zirconium construction for accurate 'articles' classification
• Ensure FDA or lab certification if for pharmaceutical/analytical use to avoid additional regulatory hurdles
• Declare wall thickness and capacity to distinguish from semi-finished sheet/plate forms
