Import Tips & Compliance

โ€ข Verify fiber length <0.5mm via microscopy for group 4/5 confirmation; mismeasurement leads to audits

โ€ข Include safety data sheets (SDS) showing <1% free silica to avoid dual hazmat classifications

โ€ข Preferred carriers experienced in asbestos; pitfall is inadequate dust suppression during transit
