Import Tips & Compliance

• Include manufacturer's assay report confirming >62% K2O to prevent reclassification during customs exam

• Check for chloride sensitivity in import destination crops; document end-use to avoid agricultural restrictions

• Ensure bulk packaging over 10kg to stay in 3104; retail packs trigger 3105 classification
