Import Tips
• Provide geological assay reports specifying vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) content for Customs verification
• Classify based on predominant valuable metal; avoid iron ore heading if vanadium drives value
• Comply with dust suppression requirements during transport to meet environmental import standards
