Import Tips
• Obtain assay certificates verifying beryllium content as per statistical notes; report assay quantity without deductions
• Ensure proper hazardous material declarations if containing impurities like arsenic, avoiding misclassification under heading 2620
• Verify mine origin documentation to comply with potential country-specific quotas or sanctions on strategic minerals
