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
