Import Tips
• Provide heat treatment records proving calcination without shaping to maintain classification as earth rather than articles
• Label packages with grain size distribution (e.g
• 3-6mm) and mullite content percentage for customs verification
• Avoid common error of importing pre-mixed castables, which may classify under 3816 as refractory cements
