Anthophyllite Asbestos Mineral from Mexico
Anthophyllite asbestos mineral is a gray-brown amphibole asbestos occurring as cleavage fragments in raw ore, typically from deposits in Finland or the USA. The product is in a crude state, having undergone only mechanical extraction without further processing. It is classified under tariff item 2524.90.00 as 'other asbestos' because anthophyllite is not specifically named in the tariff schedule.
