Import Tips

• Verify purity certificates from suppliers to confirm compliance with 'unwrought' status and avoid misclassification as refined germanium under 8112.92.60

• Include material safety data sheets (MSDS) documenting germanium's toxicity risks for customs and EPA requirements

• Ensure proper hazardous material labeling to prevent delays, as germanium compounds can trigger additional scrutiny
