Import Tips & Compliance
• Specify biotite content in invoices, as iron-rich varieties may face steel safeguard scrutiny
• Avoid bulk packaging that mimics powder form to prevent shift to 2525.20.00
• Include safety data sheets for dust hazards during customs physical exams

Crude Muscovite Mica
Natural crude muscovite mica mined directly from deposits, consisting of unprocessed sheets or blocks with irregular shapes and thicknesses. It falls under HTS 2525.10.00 as crude mica that has not been further rifted, cut, or processed into sheets or splittings. This raw form is typically used as feedstock for splitting into thinner laminae.
Phlogopite Mica Sheets
Phlogopite mica rifted into thin, flexible sheets from crude blocks, retaining natural cleavage without cutting to specific dimensions. Classified under HTS 2525.10.00 as mica rifted into sheets or splittings, suitable for further processing into electrical insulators. Its high heat resistance makes it ideal for high-temperature applications.
Mica Splittings in Book-Pack
Thin mica laminae split into book-form packs, suitable for manufacturing agglomerated mica products. This product matches HTS 2525.10.00 for crude mica rifted into sheets or splittings, as defined in statistical note (b) for mica splittings. Commonly used in composites for electronics and construction.
