Import Tips

Verify silica (SiO2) content exceeds 60% via lab certification to confirm glass wool status per chapter note

Include R-value documentation and fire ratings (ASTM E84) for customs clearance and building code compliance

Avoid classifying as mineral wool under 6806 if alkaline oxides exceed limits; request binding ruling if borderline
