Import Tips
• Specify lump size range and packing (steel drums/ bags) in commercial invoice to match statistical reporting
• Obtain country-of-origin certificates; many suppliers from China/Vietnam face specific duty considerations
• Test for tramp elements (S, P beyond spec) as excessive impurities may trigger reclassification
