Yes. Mica powder imported from China is subject to Section 301 tariffs. Importers should confirm the applicable list and rate with a licensed customs broker, as Section 301 coverage and exclusions change periodically.
The US schedule consolidates all mica powder under a single 10-digit line (2525200000), so the classification itself is straightforward.
