• Provide end-use statements specifying lime/steel production to support industrial classification
• Thermal analysis certificates proving absence of sintering (no high-temp fusion) prevent 2518.20 misrouting
• Avoid packaging that suggests retail finishing; bulk shipments maintain raw material status
