Import Tips
• Verify SiO2 content via lab analysis to confirm classification as natural silica sand, avoiding reclassification to synthetic silica (2811)
• Provide geological origin certificates to distinguish from metal-bearing sands in Chapter 26
• Ensure bulk packaging documentation specifies 'unprocessed natural sand' to prevent duties under finished abrasives (6805)
