Import Tips
• Label clearly as 'unmagnetized Alnico' to avoid confusion with finished magnetic assemblies under parts headings
• Include test data showing magnetic potential post-magnetization to substantiate tariff classification
• Comply with REACH/RoHS if destined for EU resale, as cobalt content may trigger additional declarations
