Import Tips
• Verify antimony content via assay certificates to confirm classification under Chapter 81; misclassification as iron/steel scrap (7204) is common
• Comply with EPA recycling import rules and provide hazardous waste determination documentation
• Ensure scrap is clean of hazardous residues to avoid TSCA restrictions and additional permitting
