Import Tips
• Provide Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) specifying silver oxide chemistry to comply with EPA hazardous waste rules
• Package in original retail blister packs; bulk shipments risk reclassification as waste or parts under 8548
• Confirm 'primary/non-rechargeable' status via manufacturer specs to distinguish from secondary cells in 8507
