Import Tips
• Provide certified assay reports specifying copper content without deductions, as per statistical notes
• Ensure documentation proves industrial use for metal extraction to avoid reclassification under 2621
• Verify absence of iron/steel origin to prevent shift to Chapter 26 headings for ferrous slags
