Import Tips
• Label packs as 'for burning' to align with heading description and retail sale criteria in chapter notes
• Avoid bulk shipments over retail pack sizes to prevent scrutiny under industrial chemical headings
• Test for heavy metal contaminants in charcoal binders, as common in low-quality agarbatti
