Import Tips
• Provide recycling facility origin docs and silver content assays; statistical notes require undeducted metal quantities
• Label for arsenic hazards; pitfall is failing to prove 'used in industry' per 2620 notes, risking waste classification
• Separate from steel mill outputs; bulk packaging preferred over retail to affirm industrial status
