Import Tips
• Lump size specification (10-100mm typical) should be documented; fines under 10mm may face different handling requirements
• Include safety data sheets noting pyrophoric properties when wet; pitfall is incorrect hazmat class (often UN1405)
• Confirm no cored wire format, as that changes classification to 8311.20
