Import Tips
• Report exact copper assay quantity without deductions as per statistical notes; provide certified lab analysis
• Ensure documentation proves industrial use for metal extraction to avoid misclassification under waste headings
• Verify absence of municipal waste incineration residues, as those fall under 2621
