Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If ground to fine powder or dust (e.g., <325 mesh)
Fine graphite powder or dust falls under 'other powder or flakes,' distinguished from crystalline flakes by particle size and processing.
If artificially processed into graphite powder for paints or lubricants
Artificial graphite products, even from natural base, shift to Chapter 38 as chemical preparations, not raw natural minerals.
If agglomerated or built-up into blocks using mica splittings or binders
Agglomerated graphite composites are worked mineral products under Chapter 68, not raw flakes.

Import Tips & Compliance
ā¢ Verify particle size via sieve analysis certificate to confirm 'flake' status (not dust under 325 mesh typically) and avoid reclassification
ā¢ Obtain supplier's purity analysis (>95% carbon) and origin certificate proving natural graphite source, not synthetic
ā¢ Declare exact mesh size and end-use on commercial invoice; common pitfall is mislabeling as powder leading to 2504.10.50 duties
