HS-4 · Heading
6814 — Mica; worked, articles of, including agglomerated or reconstituted mica; whether or not on a support of paper, paperboard or other materials
Chapter 68: Articles of stone, plaster, cement
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 6814 when importing or exporting mica products, such as agglomerated mica sheets used in electrical insulation or decorative applications. This heading encompasses both worked mica and articles made from mica, which can be essential for various manufacturing processes.
To differentiate between the HS-6 lines, consider that 681410 specifically covers plates, sheets, and strips of agglomerated or reconstituted mica, often used in electronics. In contrast, 681490 includes all other worked mica articles, such as mica powder or mica flakes, which may be utilized in cosmetics or as fillers in construction materials.
When deciding between these codes, think about the form and intended use of your mica product. If your shipment consists of sheets or strips, 681410 is the correct choice. However, if you have processed mica that doesn't fit into these categories, such as ground mica for paint, then 681490 would apply.
