Import Tips
• Verify purity exceeds 99% cadmium content to qualify as unwrought under Chapter 81 notes
• Include material safety data sheets (MSDS) due to cadmium's toxicity; comply with EPA import regulations
• Avoid misclassification as waste/scrap (8112.69.60) by providing production certificates
