• Provide detailed chemical analysis certificates showing Fe content and impurities to support HTS classification
• Avoid misdeclaration as agglomerates; include sieve analysis reports confirming non-agglomerated state
• Check for quotas or safeguard measures on iron ore imports, especially from high-volume suppliers
