Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'iron ore pellets' with size specs to avoid confusion with sinter (often 2621)
• Conduct pre-shipment testing for moisture and reducibility to meet buyer specs and customs scrutiny
• Document origin mine (e.g
• Brazil, Australia) for any country-specific tariff preferences
