Import Tips
• Verify assay quantity of iron content via certified lab reports for accurate statistical reporting without deductions
• Ensure briquettes meet non-coarse criteria (majority particles ≤4.75 mm) to avoid reclassification to 2601.11.0060
• Obtain Certificates of Analysis (COA) proving no roasting, as roasted pyrites shift to other subheadings
