Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide lab analysis certificate confirming K2O content ≤62% to customs for proper classification under 3104.20.00.10
• Ensure product is not packaged for retail in consumer-ready units, which would shift to heading 3105
• Check for contaminants; high chloride content typical for muriate but declare accurately to prevent reclassification
