Import Tips & Compliance
• Document water recycling features and capacity specs to confirm it's for bulk mineral washing, not small-scale
• Obtain material safety data for any chemical additives used in washing to meet EPA import requirements
• Avoid common pitfall of classifying as water treatment equipment by emphasizing mineral substrate focus
