Import Tips

• Submit assay reports detailing gallium content (>50% to qualify); low purity risks reclassification as general scrap

• Comply with EPA recycling declarations if from US-origin processes to avoid anti-dumping scrutiny

• Segregate from hazardous waste—gallium scrap often contains arsenic residues requiring special handling manifests
