Import Tips

• Provide mesh size or micron ratings on packaging and docs to prove 'ground' status and differentiate from coarser crude forms

• Ensure no surface treatments like silane coating, as those could reclassify to 3824 as modified preparations

• Declare exact barium sulfate assay percentage to comply with customs valuation and prevent disputes over purity
