Import Tips
• Include mining origin documentation, as Greenland cryolite has unique geological certification requirements
• Test for radioactive impurities common in some deposits to meet U.S. import safety standards
• Avoid common error of declaring as 'refined flux' which shifts classification to Chapter 38
