Import Tips
• Provide stockpile moisture content records alongside dry weight assays for accurate customs valuation
• Classify by lump size (>6.3mm typically); fines may attract different statistical reporting
• Beware of contamination—impure lots risk downgrading to lower HTS subheadings with adjusted duties
