Import Tips
• Include extraction process documentation to confirm it's unrefined montan from lignite sources
• Label with volatility and melting point data to differentiate from ozokerite or peat waxes
• Avoid bulk packaging confusion with slack wax, which requires separate petroleum wax declarations
