Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit mining origin certificates to prove lignite source, avoiding reclassification as imported processed fuels
• Monitor ash content declarations; high-ash lignite may trigger additional environmental import scrutiny
• Use ISPM-15 compliant pallets for any packaged lots to meet phytosanitary standards
