Analysis
HTS 2525.30.00 covers mica, including splittings; mica waste: mica waste under heading 2525 (mica, including splittings; mica waste).
Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 91% of the 78 tariff lines in chapter 25. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.
The other lines in the same group are 2525.10.00 (crude mica and mica rifted into sheets or splittings, duty-free) and 2525.20.00 (mica, including splittings; mica waste: mica powder, duty-free).
All 2 neighbouring lines carry the same duty-free rate, so a borderline choice between them changes the statistics reported, not the duty paid.
The general rate of Free has not changed in any edition of the schedule since Jan 2023.
