Import Tips & Compliance
• Include detailed chemical analysis reports (Fe, SiO2, Al2O3) matching statistical reporting standards
• Use bulk carriers with proper moisture controls to prevent liquefaction during ocean transport
• Check for voluntary restraints or quotas on high-grade Australian imports during steel market fluctuations
