Import Tips
• Obtain a precise assay certificate showing iron content and impurities to comply with statistical reporting requirements without deductions
• Verify pellet size and agglomeration method (e.g
• green pellets hardened in a furnace) to confirm classification as pellets under 2601.12.0030
• Avoid misclassification as non-agglomerated fines by ensuring documentation proves uniform pellet form exceeding statistical size thresholds
