It is distinct from processed mica splittings or agglomerated forms.

Import Tips
• Verify the material is unprocessed waste, not cleaned or sized splittings, to avoid reclassification; provide origin certificates proving natural mica source; watch for contamination that could shift it to waste under other chapters
