Import Tips

• Document crushing as a mining byproduct, not manufacturing; photos of irregular shapes help customs avoid misclassification as processed grit

• Test for purity to exclude garnet or corundum admixtures that could shift to other subheadings; silica content reports aid compliance

• Bulk shipments prone to dust loss—use sealed containers and declare net weight post-settling to prevent valuation disputes
