Import Tips

Provide particle size distribution and reactivity data to classify correctly and comply with hazardous material shipping rules

Label with exact zirconium content (>99%) to prevent reclassification as an alloy under Chapter 81

Obtain end-use certificates if for explosive applications to meet ATF import regulations
