Import Tips
• Obtain Certificates of Analysis confirming beryllium content and absence of hazardous contaminants to avoid reclassification
• Comply with EPA and OSHA beryllium handling regulations; provide Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
• Verify scrap is not suitable for direct recycling without processing to prevent duty-free entry under other provisions
