Import Tips
• Provide geological source documentation proving natural origin, as synthetic corundum (alumina) is excluded and duties elsewhere
• Declare exact particle size distribution; fines under 100 mesh still qualify if not chemically altered
• Watch for reclassification to 2818.10 if purity exceeds 99% Al2O3 resembling artificial aluminum oxide
