Import Tips
• Verify exact lead-tin ratio and flux coating via manufacturer specs to confirm classification under lead-tin solders
• Comply with TSCA and RoHS regulations; provide safety data sheets for lead content declarations
• Avoid misclassification as silver solder by ensuring no precious metal content; common pitfall in mixed alloy imports
