Import Tips
• Verify origin certificates to confirm chrysotile type and crude status, as processed fibers shift to other subheadings
• Comply with strict asbestos import regulations including EPA notifications and health/safety documentation under TSCA
• Avoid misclassification as milled fibers (2524.90.0040); provide lab assays showing unprocessed ore content
