Import Tips
• Include thermal conductivity test results (<0.5 W/mK typical) to substantiate refractory insulation claims
• Ensure packing lists specify 'fired clay refractory' to avoid scrutiny as unfinished goods
• Check for chrome content; if >10%, may require additional hazardous material declarations
