Import Tips & Compliance
• Report assay quantity of iron without deductions as per statistical note for accurate U.S
• Customs valuation
• Provide evidence of pellet production process (balling drum + induration) to support classification
• Ensure no arsenic or other residues that could trigger Chapter 2620 slag/ash headings
