Import Tips

• Include mineral composition analysis to distinguish phlogopite from muscovite, preventing misclassification

• Declare exact thickness measurements; exceeding tolerances shifts to mica powder or waste categories

• Use moisture-proof packaging to avoid natural delamination during ocean freight, which could trigger quality disputes
