Import Tips
• Report the assay quantity of zirconium content without deductions as per statistical notes to avoid valuation disputes
• Obtain geological assay certificates from accredited labs to verify concentration levels for customs classification
• Check for radioactive impurities in zircon sands, as high thorium/uranium content may trigger additional NRC regulations
