Import Tips
• Document grind size (e.g
• 70% passing 200 mesh) but note pulverization doesn't change HTS if not agglomerated
• Include proximate analysis certificate covering fixed carbon, volatiles, and moisture for accurate duty assessment
• Watch for dust suppression additives; if > minor, may risk reclassification—declare as untreated coal
