Import Tips
• Provide particle size distribution certificates (ASTM C136 compliant) to substantiate aggregate grading for road use
• Ensure no binding agents added; pure chippings avoid reclassification as tarred macadam
• Declare intended end-use as road ballast on commercial invoice to align with heading description and prevent audits
