Import Tips
• Ensure packaging labels specify 'manufactured from coal' and shape (ovoids) to distinguish from raw coal imports
• Comply with environmental regs on sulfur content; obtain certificates if required for low-emission claims
• Avoid bulk shipments mistaken for raw coal by using retail packaging or clear manifests
