Import Tips
• Obtain certified assay reports verifying Cr2O3 equivalence ≤40% from accredited labs to avoid reclassification
• Ensure proper documentation of mine origin and processing stage; unprocessed concentrates only qualify
• Beware of misdeclaration as higher-grade ore (2610.00.0040), which incurs different duties
