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
