Import Tips
• Verify particle size via sieve analysis certificate to confirm 'flake' status (not dust under 325 mesh typically) and avoid reclassification
• Obtain supplier's purity analysis (>95% carbon) and origin certificate proving natural graphite source, not synthetic
• Declare exact mesh size and end-use on commercial invoice; common pitfall is mislabeling as powder leading to 2504.10.50 duties
