6814 90 00 — Worked mica and articles of mica, including agglomerated or reconstituted mica, whether or not on a support of paper, paperboard or other materials: other

6814 Worked mica and articles of mica, including agglomerated or reconstituted mica, whether or not on a support of paper, paperboard or other materials: 6814 10 – plates, sheets and strips of agglomerated or reconstituted mica, whether or not on a support 6814 90 – other

This heading covers natural mica treated to a greater extent than by simple sawing or pruning (e.g., carved in three buoyable forms), as well as materials of agglomerated mica or pulpated mica and articles of all these materials. Thin plates and fragments obtained by simple sawing and pruning of mica blocks during mining are classified in heading 2525. This heading covers articles derived from these plates and fragments. Their ribs do not have barbs, since stamping is used to obtain. Natural mica is often used in its pure form in the form of plates or shards. But since the small size of the plates, their low elasticity, high cost, etc. in many cases complicate the use of natural mica, it is often replaced by agglomerated (composite) mica (for example, mycanite, mycafolium), which is obtained by binding superimposed on each other or adjacent fragments of mica, using shellac, natural resins, plastics, asphalt, etc. Agglomerated mica is made in the form of sheets, plates or ribbons of any thickness, often with a fairly large surface. These sheets, etc., are usually reinforced on one or (usually) both sides with textile material or fiberglass, paper or asbestos. Thin mica sheets can also be obtained without resorting to binders, exposing mica powder and pulpated mica waste thermal, chemical and

machining similar to that used to make paper (regene - mica). These thin sheets are then applied to a paper or textile base with an elastic binder; they can also be used to make plates and tapes of a given thickness with the superposition of several thin sheets of mica and fixing them with an organic binder. This heading includes sheets, tapes and rolls in segments; sliced pieces in the form of discs, quadrangles (including squares), etc., for use for various purposes; molded articles such as pipes, piping, etc. All these products can be painted in mass or on the surface, erlen, milled or processed in another way. Due to its high heat resistance and relative transparency, mica, inter alia, is used in the manufacture of observation windows of ovens, drying chambers, etc., unbreakable lamps, safety glasses, etc. But it is mainly used in electrical devices due to its high dielectric properties (in the production of motors, generators, transformers, capacitors, resistors, etc.). It should be noted, however, that mica insulators and other mica parts of olating apparatus, even when disassembled, are classified in headings 8546 to 8548, and mica dielectric capacitors (capacitors) are classified in heading 8532. This heading also excludes (a) mica powder and mica waste (heading 2525); (b) paper or paperboard coated with mica powder (heading 4810 or 4814) and fabrics coated with mica powder (heading 5907). These articles are not to be confused with the agglomerated or regenerated mica described above; (c) vermiculite bloated (heading 6806) (see the relevant HS Explanatory Note); (d) safety glasses and other eye-protection devices made of mica (heading 9004); (e) ornamental fir ornaments of mica (heading 9505).
