Import Tips
• Use accredited testing for fineness (blood grade) to confirm ≤58s and avoid higher-duty finer categories
• Prepare for Customs verification of 'clean yield' calculation, including moisture and ash content limits
• Label bales clearly with processing history to facilitate quick CBP inspection
