Crocidolite Asbestos Rock from China
Crocidolite asbestos rock is a fibrous amphibole mineral mined primarily from South Africa and Australia, appearing as blue needle-like fibers in rock matrix. The product is in its crude state, not processed beyond extraction, and is classifiable under tariff item 2524.90.00 as 'other asbestos'. However, crocidolite is specifically named in the tariff, so it may fall under a different tariff item if presented separately.

Import Tips
• Verify whether the product is pure crocidolite or a mixture, as pure crocidolite is classified under a separate tariff item
• Provide detailed mineralogical data to the CBSA to confirm the asbestos type
• Be aware that crocidolite is banned in Canada, and importation requires special authorization
