Asbestos

In plain English

This heading covers asbestos, including a specific type known as crocidolite or blue asbestos. The goods are divided into two groups based on whether they are crocidolite or some other form of asbestos. One group consists solely of crocidolite, while the other includes all remaining types of asbestos that are not crocidolite.
