Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Provide alloy certificates proving SmCo composition to distinguish from cheaper ferrite alternatives during customs review

β€’ Declare intended end-use (e.g

β€’ aerospace) in documentation to support classification and potential duty exemptions

β€’ Ensure packaging prevents corrosion, as oxidation can lead to reclassification or rejection at entry
