Import Tips
• Verify magnesite purity through lab analysis certificates to confirm classification as natural magnesium carbonate over 50% MgCO3
• Include geological origin documentation; ores from certain countries may face antidumping duties
• Avoid misclassification as dead-burned magnesia (2619.90) by ensuring no thermal processing
