Import Tips
• Label shipments as 'Regulated Hazardous Material - Asbestos Amosite' per DOT 49 CFR standards
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'mineral specimens' which triggers different valuation scrutiny
• Maintain chain-of-custody records for remediation-bound material to satisfy customs end-use verification
