Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificates verifying pig iron composition and granule size to avoid reclassification as powder under 7205.21
• Ensure granules are free of excessive rust or discoloration per chapter note, as no duty allowance for such damage
• Declare exact particle size distribution (typically 1-10mm) to distinguish from powders and comply with CBP granule definitions
