6814.10.00.00 - Plates, sheets and strips of agglomerated or reconstituted mica, whether or not on a support

This HTS classification, 6814.10.00.00, specifically addresses plates, sheets, and strips manufactured from agglomerated or reconstituted mica. These products are formed by consolidating or reforming mica particles, often with a binder, into solid forms. The classification includes such items whether or not they are mounted or supported by materials like paper, paperboard, or other suitable substances, which are typically used for reinforcement or ease of handling.

Within the broader category of "Worked mica and articles of mica," this heading distinguishes itself from its sibling category, 6814.90.00.00, which covers "Other" articles of mica not specifically defined as plates, sheets, or strips of agglomerated or reconstituted mica. Therefore, any mica product that is not in the form of a consolidated plate, sheet, or strip falls under the "Other" classification.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories under 6814.10.00.00. Classification decisions at this level will therefore hinge on the precise definition of "plates, sheets, and strips" and the nature of the "agglomerated or reconstituted mica" itself. Key considerations will include the method of manufacture, the presence and type of binder, and the physical dimensions and form of the merchandise.
