Import Tips
• Submit XRF analysis confirming anatase polymorph via diffraction patterns to prevent confusion with synthetic TiO2
• Include mining license copies verifying natural ore status versus laboratory-produced material
• Report gross weight and metal content separately, following statistical note requirements for assay quantities
