Chrysotile Spinning Grade Milled Fibers from Japan
Milled chrysotile asbestos fibers classified as group 3 grades, specifically spinning fibers or equivalent, processed to a fine fibrous consistency suitable for yarn spinning. These fall under HTS 2524.90.0040 due to their chrysotile composition and specific milling for spinning applications within the asbestos category. They are used primarily in industrial textile manufacturing where high-temperature resistance is required.

Import Tips
• Verify chrysotile content via lab testing to confirm classification under 2524; misidentification as amphibole may shift to other subheadings
• Include Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) detailing asbestos hazards and handling; comply with TSCA asbestos regulations for US entry
• Avoid common pitfalls like insufficient labeling of fiber grade and milling specs, which can lead to reclassification or customs holds
