Import Tips
• Briquettes must contain >90% alloy; verify binder content doesn't trigger chemical treatment reclassification
• Steel-strapped palletizing recommended; loose briquettes prone to breakage increasing dust hazard
• Customs may require XRF analysis for briquette homogeneity if composition uniformity questioned
