Import Tips
• Verify slump test results and water-cement ratio documentation to prove it's 'wet' and meets nonrefractory standards
• Include batch certificates showing aggregate composition to avoid reclassification as building materials under Chapter 25
• Ensure transport in mixer trucks or insulated containers to maintain wet state upon customs inspection
