Import Tips
• Provide detailed chemical assay confirming metatungstate structure to distinguish from simple tungstates in 2841.80
• Check for REACH compliance if transshipping from EU; pitfall is incorrect declaration as 'tungsten compound' leading to wrong heading
• Use UN-approved packaging for powder form to prevent dust hazards during transport
