Import Tips
• Submit processing flow charts showing separation from base metal circuits to distinguish from Chapter 26 copper ores
• Verify particle size doesn't qualify as 'coarse' under statistical notes if applicable to related ore imports
• Avoid misdeclaration as municipal waste ash, which falls under heading 2621 and excludes industrial metal recovery uses
