Import Tips

• Report assay quantity of metal content without deductions as per statistical notes; obtain certified lab assays for customs valuation

• Verify particle size distribution to confirm non-agglomerated status and fines classification (majority <4.75mm for coarse exclusion)

• Ensure documentation includes origin certificates, as anti-dumping duties may apply to specific countries like certain Asian exporters
