Import Tips
• Include PGM recovery process documentation to justify precious metal ore classification over base copper concentrates
• Report only assay copper content without deductions; impurities don't reduce declared quantity
• Check for Chapter 26 exclusions if copper exceeds precious metal values, triggering base metal headings
