Import Tips

• Submit sieve analysis and zinc purity assays; customs often tests samples for note (c) compliance

• Avoid generic 'zinc powder' labeling—specify 'zinc dust' with production method to prevent reclassification

• For hazardous material declarations, classify as UN 1436 to comply with DOT/IMDG shipping rules
