Import Tips
• Include grind size specs and volatility tests in entry docs; pitfall is confusing with fully processed petroleum coke
• Use ISPM-15 compliant packaging for any bagged portions; bulk requires dust suppression certifications
• Monitor for anti-dumping duties on specific origins; declare exact calorific value to avoid audits
