Import Tips
• Obtain geological assay reports confirming natural calcium phosphate composition and unground status to avoid reclassification as ground material
• Verify country of origin documentation, as certain phosphate exporters may face quotas or additional scrutiny under fertilizer trade rules
• Ensure proper bulk packaging to prevent contamination or inadvertent grinding during transport, which could shift classification
