Import Tips & Compliance

• Ensure the manganese content is verified by a certified assay report on dry weight to support classification under 2602.00.00

• Declare the metal content in kilograms as per statistical note 1

• Be prepared to provide documentation if the ore has undergone any non-metallurgical processes, which could affect classification
