Agglomerated Mica Heating Element Plates from Japan
Agglomerated mica heating element plates are manufactured by bonding reconstituted mica with heat-resistant binders, then pressing them into flat plates. These plates are designed to support heating wires in electric heaters and toasters, where they provide electrical insulation and thermal stability. They fall under tariff item 6814.90.00 as articles of agglomerated mica, not elsewhere specified.

Import Tips
• Ensure the plates are classified as agglomerated mica, not as parts of heating appliances, to avoid misclassification under Chapter 85
• Provide a detailed product description and material composition to the CBSA officer
• Verify whether the plates require any electrical safety certifications, as CBSA may request documentation
