Import Tips
• Label with exact calcium/montmorillonite content; customs may require XRF analysis to distinguish from other clays
• Avoid packaging suggesting end-use as animal feed if mixed with additives, as it could shift to Chapter 23 or 31
• Declare particle size distribution to confirm it's not pre-agglomerated, which might classify under heading 2530
