Import Tips

Provide mill test certificates verifying silicon content exceeds 90% by weight to avoid reclassification during customs examination

Declare particle size and packaging details (e.g

1MT jumbo bags) as they impact handling but not tariff classification

Watch for contamination risks during transit; no duty allowance for rust or discoloration per Chapter 72 notes
