HS Code for Mica sheets

Mica sheets made of agglomerated or reconstituted mica are classified under HS code 6814.10. This classification is part of Chapter 68, which deals with articles of mineral materials. Heading 6814 specifically covers worked mica and articles of mica. The sub-heading 6814.10 is dedicated to plates, sheets, and strips of agglomerated or reconstituted mica, whether or not they are on a support of paper, paperboard, or other materials. These products, often referred to as micanite or mica paper, are produced by binding small mica splittings or reconstituted mica pulp with resins or other binders under heat and pressure. This process creates large, uniform sheets that are not available in nature. These sheets are valued for their thermal and electrical insulation properties. The presence of a support material, such as glass fiber or paper, does not change the classification, as the mica provides the essential character of the product for its intended industrial use.

Products Included

• Agglomerated mica plates
• Reconstituted mica sheets (micanite)
• Mica paper in rolls or strips
• Flexible mica sheets with resin binders
• Mica sheets on glass cloth support

Common Misclassification

Mica sheets are frequently misclassified under HS code 2525.10, which is for natural mica splittings. The distinction lies in the manufacturing process; 6814.10 is for sheets made from smaller pieces bonded together. They are also sometimes confused with 8547.90 (insulating fittings), but 6814.10 is the more specific heading for the material in sheet form before it is shaped into a specific fitting.
