Import Tips
• Provide particle size analysis to distinguish from roasted fines or other mineral powders that might fall under different headings
• Check for spontaneous combustion risks in shipment; use proper ventilation and inert atmosphere packaging
• Confirm no roasting via thermal analysis certificates to prevent reclassification during customs inspection
