Import Tips
• Require detailed alloy composition reports; type metal often borders classification with lead scrap (7802.00)
• Label shipments clearly as 'recycling scrap only' to prevent diversion and ensure Basel Convention compliance
• Check for radioactivity from legacy printing inks, which may trigger NRC import controls
