Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If in flock form rather than milled
Chrysotile flock (loose unground fibers) uses a separate statistical breakout before milled grades.
If formed into friction materials or pads
Asbestos shaped into brake pads or clutch facings becomes Chapter 68 fabricated articles.
If processed into panels or boards
Milled asbestos bound into sheets or boards classifies as worked panels, not raw fibers.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Use NIOSH-approved packaging and labeling for respirable asbestos fibers to meet DOT hazardous transport rules
• Include particle size distribution data in entry docs; pitfall is confusing group 5 with flock fibers (2524.90.0030)
• Check country-of-origin restrictions as many nations ban chrysotile imports regardless of processing
