Import Tips
• Submit spectrographic analysis confirming particle size and composition; coarse particles (>4.75mm) may reference statistical notes indirectly
• Label shipments clearly as 'synthetic rutile' with origin certificates to prevent confusion with natural concentrates
• Watch for anti-dumping duties on specific country origins (e.g
• from Ukraine or India); check USTR lists
