Import Tips
• Submit XRF analysis confirming magnesium-iron silicate composition to prevent misclassification as talc (2528.00)
• Label clearly as unexpanded chlorite to distinguish from expanded forms used in absorbents
• Check for radioactive impurities common in some deposits, requiring NRC documentation
