Import Tips
• Use IWTO-certified labs for fineness and clean yield testing to comply with US note definitions
• Document that no carbonization occurred, as it would trigger higher duties or different classification
• Prepare for USDA inspections if lots exceed certain volumes, ensuring phytosanitary compliance
