Import Tips
• Verify purity and carbon content via lab certification to confirm natural graphite classification and avoid reclassification as synthetic
• Include geological origin documentation, as some countries have export quotas on natural graphite
• Ensure particle size specs match 'other' category; powders under 1mm may risk heading 2504.10
