Import Tips
• Australian exporters often provide certified assays; cross-verify to match statistical reporting requirements
• Monitor silica content (<5%) to confirm ore status; high silica may reclassify as refractory material
• Bulk carriers require specialized holds; declare tonnage accurately to avoid demurrage penalties
