Import Tips

• Use ICP or XRF certified assays for lead content declaration; Customs may require verification testing

• Label shipments clearly as 'zinc ore with lead content' to facilitate proper HTS subheading allocation

• Monitor particle size if coarse (>4.75mm similar to iron ore notes) for potential handling differences
