Import Tips

Include particle size verification (>0.5mm average) to prove unground status against statistical notes

Label shipments clearly as 'phosphatic chalk' to distinguish from pure calcium carbonate under heading 2836

Comply with agricultural import regs if destined for feed use, including pathogen testing
