Import Tips
• Submit particle size distribution curves (PSD) proving <45 micron for filler grade vs. ceramic flux
• Include end-use statements; paint imports risk higher duties if declared as Chapter 32 pigments
• Watch REACH compliance for EU-origin material containing trace fluorides from nepheline processing
