Import Tips & Compliance
• Declare specific power grade (RP/HP/UHP) and current-carrying capacity; mismatch leads to incorrect duty assessment
• Include baking/ graphitization process certificates proving >99% carbon purity required for furnace electrodes
• Avoid classifying replacement nipples separately (8548.90); import as electrode sets when shipped assembled
