Tremolite Asbestos Powder from Germany
Tremolite asbestos powder is a white amphibole mineral in powdered form, obtained by crushing and milling raw tremolite-actinolite deposits. The product has undergone mechanical processing (crushing and milling) which is permitted under Chapter 25 Note 1, but no chemical treatment or further processing has occurred. It is classified under tariff item 2524.90.00 as 'other asbestos' since tremolite is not specifically named.
