Import Tips
• Obtain accurate assay certificates showing iron content without deductions, as required by statistical notes for quantity reporting
• Ensure particle size distribution documentation confirms non-agglomerated status (mostly <6.3mm) to avoid reclassification
• Verify origin certificates; Brazilian or Australian fines common—watch for anti-dumping duties on specific sources
