Import Tips
• Provide spectrochemical analysis certificates proving >3% carbon to prevent reclassification during customs exam
• Declare exact particle size (lumps vs fines) as fines may require dust suppression measures for environmental compliance
• Avoid common error of undervaluation based on scrap pricing; use ferroalloy-specific market indices for fair valuation
