Phlogopite Mica Sheets from China
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.

Import Tips
• Measure sheet thickness to confirm it exceeds split block tolerances, distinguishing from 2525.20.00
• Include supplier declarations on rifting process to prove no stamping or cutting occurred
• Beware of contamination with other minerals, which could reclassify as mixed earths under 2530
