Import Tips
• Verify purity and composition certificates to confirm thallium content exceeds other metals, as per Chapter 81 alloy notes
• Include safety data sheets (SDS) due to thallium's high toxicity; ensure EPA and TSCA compliance for hazardous material handling
• Avoid misclassification as waste/scrap (8112.99); provide documentation proving it's prime unwrought material
