Import Tips

• Provide mining origin certificates and XRF analysis confirming andalusite composition to prevent reclassification

• Ensure proper packaging declarations for bulk mineral shipments to avoid expanded clay confusion

• Check for radioactivity certificates if sourced from certain deposits, as some aluminosilicates contain trace uranium
