Import Tips
• Submit laboratory assays confirming metal content per statistical notes, reported without deductions for accurate duty assessment
• Include process certificates proving sintering agglomeration to prevent reclassification as coarse ore
• Comply with ISPS Code for bulk ore carriers, including moisture limits to avoid liquefaction hazards
