Import Tips
• Verify purity and particle size via lab testing to confirm classification as mica powder, not agglomerated mica (6815)
• Include supplier certificates of origin and mineral composition analysis to avoid misclassification as waste
• Ensure packaging labels distinguish from mica splittings to prevent reclassification under other 2525 subheadings
