Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

2504.90.00Same rate: 25%

If amorphous or lump natural graphite form

Non-crystalline natural graphite classifies under 'other natural graphite,' based on mineral structure rather than processing.

8545.11.00Higher: 35% vs 25%

If further processed into electrodes or carbon products

Finished graphite electrodes are electrical articles in Chapter 85, not raw mineral flakes.

3824.99Lower: 15% vs 25%

If chemically treated for specific industrial preparations

Treated graphite flakes become chemical products under Chapter 38 if prepared for non-mineral end-uses.

Import Tips & Compliance

Include third-party lab test reports confirming crystalline structure via X-ray diffraction to differentiate from amorphous graphite

Avoid common pitfall of bulk packaging misdeclared as ore; use 'crystalline flake graphite' exact terminology on entry docs

Check for anti-dumping duties if sourced from China; file scope rulings if blended with other carbons
