Import Tips
• Verify purity levels and provide certificates confirming artificial graphite composition to avoid reclassification as natural graphite
• Include end-use documentation if for industrial melting to distinguish from finished furnace parts under Chapter 84
• Check for anti-dumping duties on Chinese graphite products and ensure proper marking of country of origin
