Import Tips
• Since the red mud contains arsenic, verify whether subheading 2620.60 applies instead, as subheading note 2 directs arsenic-containing residues there
• Provide a full chemical analysis to support classification
• Check for any environmental permits required for importing arsenic-bearing waste
