Import Tips
• 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
