Chrysotile Milled Fiber Grade 4
Finely milled chrysotile asbestos fibers classified as group 4 grade, processed by grinding into short, fibrous particles for reinforcement applications. These fibers fall under HTS 2524.90.0045 as milled fibers of chrysotile asbestos in group 4 and 5 grades, distinct from crude or flock forms. Used primarily in industrial composites requiring fine dispersion.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If group 1, 2 or 3 grades
Coarser milled chrysotile fibers fall under the preceding statistical suffix within the same chrysotile heading.
If incorporated into woven fabric or yarn
Asbestos processed into textile forms like cloth or rope shifts to Chapter 68 for worked mineral products.

Import Tips & Compliance
โข Obtain EPA TSCA certification and comply with asbestos import bans or restrictions under 40 CFR Part 763
โข Provide mill test reports confirming group 4 grade (fiber length/thickness specs) and chrysotile composition to avoid misclassification
โข Declare as hazardous material; common pitfall is failing to specify 'milled fibers' vs. crude, leading to wrong subheading
