Import Tips
• Include detailed chemical analysis (Fe, SiO2, Al2O3) in import docs for accurate metal content reporting per statistical notes
• Confirm pellets meet agglomeration standards (e.g
• induration process) to distinguish from sinter or other forms
• Watch for reclassification risks if pellets are fluxed or basic (high gangue), potentially affecting end-use documentation
