Import Tips & Compliance

Include sieve analysis reports confirming 80% particles through 63-micron mesh to distinguish from powders

Label containers with UN numbers for flammable solids (zinc dust is pyrophoric when dry)

Check for anti-dumping duties if sourced from specific countries like China
