Import Tips
• Provide sieve analysis and mineralogical reports to verify sand form and ilmenite purity, distinguishing from processed concentrates
• Declare net weight accurately and report titanium content per statistical notes without deductions for impurities
• Check for radioactive impurities common in beach sands (e.g
• monazite); obtain radiation clearance certificates for US entry
