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
