Import Tips
• Verify roasting certification and sulfur content via assay reports to confirm classification under 2601.20; ensure no metal extractions have occurred to avoid reclassification as residues
• Common pitfall: mislabeling as unroasted ore leads to incorrect duties; provide lab analysis for customs
