Import Tips
• Verify mineral composition via lab assay to confirm natural origin, excluding synthetic abrasives which fall under Chapter 68
• Include heat-treatment certification if applied, as allowed by heading, but document to prevent confusion with processed goods
• Avoid common pitfall of classifying as manufactured articles (6805) if merely sized or heat-treated without bonding
