Import Tips
• Obtain mill test reports certifying silica content ≥95% and iron oxide ≤0.6% to avoid reclassification
• Ensure proper packaging to prevent contamination during transit, as purity is critical for end-use
• Declare exact chemical analysis; common pitfall is mislabeling as general silica sand
