Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

2525.20.00Same rate: 35%

If in loose pack or as mica waste

Statistical note (b) includes loose pack splittings under mica waste, separate from sheet rifting.

6815Lower: 10% vs 35%

If after agglomeration into sheets or rods

Splittings destined for built-up mica are classified in 6815 once processed.

Import Tips & Compliance

Document packing method (book-pack vs loose) to align with statistical note (b) definitions

Ensure splittings are untrimmed to prevent classification as worked mica under Chapter 68

Test for uniformity; irregular splittings may qualify for duty drawbacks if rejected

Related Products under HTS 2525.10.00

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.

Ruby Mica Crude Blocks

Unprocessed ruby muscovite mica in large crude blocks, directly from mining operations. Falls under HTS 2525.10.00 as crude mica not yet rifted into sheets. Prized for its reddish hue and dielectric properties in specialty capacitors.

Biotite Mica Splittings

Biotite variety of mica rifted into loose splittings for industrial grinding. Classified in HTS 2525.10.00 per the description of crude mica and rifted splittings, prior to any powdering. Used in paints, drilling fluids, and fillers.

Lepidolite Crude Mica

Crude lepidolite mica ore containing lithium, extracted in block form without rifting. HTS 2525.10.00 covers this as crude mica, distinguished from lithium concentrates. Primarily imported for lithium extraction and ceramics.

Muscovite Mica Book-Form Splittings

High-quality muscovite mica split into book-form stacks of laminae, per statistical note (b). Under HTS 2525.10.00 as rifted splittings suitable for agglomerated mica production. Essential for high-voltage insulation manufacturing.
