Import Tips
• Distinguish briquettes from fines; loose powder may classify under waste provisions if not consolidated
• Label with exact Mn/C ratios and origin to comply with trade remedy exclusions
• Inspect for binder use; organic binders could trigger 'further worked' scrutiny under chapter notes
