Import Tips
• Report precise TiO2 assay quantity per statistical notes; deductions for impurities are not allowed in declarations
• Include radiation test certificates as rutile sands may contain thorium-bearing minerals; non-compliance leads to CBP holds
• Label shipments clearly as 'titanium ore concentrate' to prevent confusion with finished pigments; use ISPM-15 compliant wood packaging
