Import Tips
• Verify purity and particle size via lab testing to confirm classification as feldspar rather than processed mineral products
• Provide geological origin certificates and mining extraction proof to avoid misclassification as synthetic chemicals
• Ensure bulk packaging complies with dust control regulations for mineral imports to prevent port delays
