Import Tips
• Verify the pumice is natural and not synthetically produced to avoid reclassification under Chapter 68 worked abrasives
• Provide geological origin certificates if heat-treated to confirm it remains classifiable as natural pumice
• Avoid common pitfalls by ensuring no further processing like binding into wheels, which shifts to heading 6804
