Crocidolite — commonly known as blue asbestos — is among the most hazardous asbestos fiber types and is subject to strict regulatory controls in the United States. Fabricated fibers and articles of crocidolite are classified under the single tariff line 6812800000. EPA regulations under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) impose significant restrictions on asbestos-containing articles, and importers must be prepared to demonstrate compliance before goods are released. Trade professionals should engage legal counsel familiar with TSCA and EPA import requirements prior to any attempted importation.

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.
