Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If resembling split block mica under 0.508 mm thickness
Statistical note defines split block mica separately in heading 2525, based on precise thickness tolerances.
If primarily non-agglomerated iron ores
Ore concentrates with micaceous characteristics may classify under Chapter 26 iron ores if not fitting 2530 specifics.
If high iron content earth colors
Exceeds Chapter 25 threshold for iron evaluated as Fe2O3, per exclusion note.
