The EPA administers restrictions on asbestos under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). Crocidolite is specifically identified as a highly hazardous fiber type, and any importation of fabricated crocidolite articles must be evaluated against current TSCA rules and EPA guidance. Importers should consult both a licensed customs broker and environmental legal counsel before proceeding.
Crocidolite (blue asbestos) has its own dedicated HS6 heading (681280), separate from other fabricated asbestos fibers and mixtures classified under 681299. The distinction matters because regulatory treatment and risk profiles differ by fiber type; crocidolite is generally considered the most commercially restricted variety.
