Import Tips & Compliance

Provide mineral composition certificates confirming phlogopite vs. muscovite to support valuation

Ensure packaging prevents breakage—damaged splittings may classify as mica waste (2525.20)

Avoid mixing with powders; pure splittings prevent misclassification as worked products
