Import Tips
• Obtain granulometry reports showing particle size under 0.508 mm to differentiate from split blocks
• Declare exact mica type (phlogopite) on entry documents to comply with statistical reporting requirements
• Avoid bulk packaging that could be mistaken for mica waste; use sealed bags for retail-grade powder
