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.

Import Tips
• Verify origin certification to ensure compliance with country-specific quotas or restrictions on mica imports
• Provide geological assay reports confirming crude state to avoid misclassification as processed mica
• Check for radioactive impurities common in some mica deposits, as they may trigger additional inspections
