Import Tips
• Special containers required for hot DRI; declare temperature and handling specs for vessel safety compliance
• Provide consecutive production records linking ore input to DRI output to validate direct reduction process
• Monitor for hydrogen content if gas-based reduction used, as it affects storage and transport regulations
