Import Tips

• Ensure the ladle is declared as a ladle used in metallurgy, not as a general container, to avoid misclassification

• Verify the lining material (graphite or silicon carbide) is accurately described on the commercial invoice

• If the ladle is imported with other foundry equipment, consider whether it qualifies for a single classification under Section XVI Note 4
