Import Tips

Obtain a Certificate of Analysis (COA) verifying ilmenite content and titanium-iron oxide composition to confirm classification under 2614.00.60.20

Ensure proper documentation of origin from mining sites (e.g

Australia, South Africa) and comply with US customs valuation based on assay quantity without deductions

Avoid misclassification as synthetic rutile by confirming natural mineral status; test for particle size if sand-like to distinguish from concentrates
