Import Tips
• Verify activation process and source material (e.g
• coconut shell) via supplier certificates to confirm classification under 3802.10.00, avoiding misclassification as carbon black
• Include Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and test reports for ash content and iodine number in documentation for CBP review
