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.
