Import Tips
• Provide certified assay reports specifying zinc content without deductions to comply with statistical reporting requirements
• Ensure documentation distinguishes zinc content from lead to avoid misclassification under lead-only ores (2607.00.0030)
• Verify ore origin certificates to meet environmental and traceability regulations for sulfide concentrates
