Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 252510 when importing or exporting crude mica that has been split into sheets or splittings. For example, if you're shipping a pallet of mica sheets for use in electronics or cosmetics, this is the code you need.

This code specifically applies to mica that is in its crude form, meaning it hasn't been processed beyond splitting. In contrast, HS-6 252520 covers mica waste, which includes scraps and unusable remnants from mica processing.

Mica is often used in industries like electronics, cosmetics, and construction due to its insulating properties and ability to reflect light. If you're dealing with processed mica, you might need to look at different HS codes that cover those finished products.

When importing or exporting, ensure your mica sheets are properly documented to avoid classification issues. Customs may require details about the origin and intended use of the mica.
