High-Purity Crystalline Flake Graphite +50 Mesh
Premium +50 mesh crystalline graphite flakes with >99% fixed carbon, sourced from Madagascar deposits for electronics and friction materials. HTS 2504.10.10.00 applies to this natural crystalline flake form, distinct from powdered dust.
Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If average flake size <20 microns or dust-contaminated
Exceeds flake tolerance, reclassified as 'other' powder/flakes due to fineness akin to dust.
If shaped into crucibles or refractory blocks
Worked graphite refractories become Chapter 69 articles, not raw flakes.
If petroleum coke-impregnated or calcined with binders
Processed petroleum-based graphites fall under Chapter 27 petroleum products.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide geological origin docs (e.g
• vein graphite) to support crystalline classification over flake graphite from flake deposits
• Label packages with mesh size and 'crystalline flake—not dust' to prevent inspection delays
• Watch for REACH compliance if transshipping via EU; declare no hazardous impurities like silica >1%
