Import Tips
• Confirm the olivine is not heat-treated or processed beyond washing, as Chapter 25 excludes roasted or calcined products
• If used as a slag conditioner rather than abrasive, consider whether heading 25.30 applies
• Provide end-use documentation to support classification as a natural abrasive
