Import Tips
• Provide chemical analysis certificates showing P2O5 levels and absence of grinding to comply with unground classification
• Check for export permits from origin country, as major producers like Morocco regulate phosphate shipments
• Use ventilated containers to manage moisture, preventing natural clumping that might be mistaken for processing
