HS-4 · Heading

2529Feldspar; leucite; nepheline and nepheline syenite; fluorspar

Chapter 25: Salt; sulphur; earths and stone

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 2529 when importing or exporting feldspar, leucite, nepheline, or fluorspar. For example, if you're shipping a bulk load of feldspar for use in ceramics, this is the right classification to consider.

When determining the correct HS-6 subheading, note that 252910 specifically covers feldspar, while 252921 and 252922 focus on fluorspar based on calcium fluoride content. If your fluorspar contains 97% or less calcium fluoride, use 252921; if it exceeds that, go with 252922.

For products like leucite, nepheline, and nepheline syenite, you should refer to 252930. This subheading is distinct from feldspar and fluorspar, so ensure your product matches these descriptions before proceeding.

What is the main use of feldspar?
Feldspar is primarily used in the production of glass and ceramics.
How do I know which fluorspar code to use?
Check the calcium fluoride content: use **252921** for 97% or less, and **252922** for more than 97%.
Can I use the same code for leucite and nepheline?
No, leucite and nepheline fall under different classifications; use **252930** for both.
What are the packaging requirements for importing these minerals?
Typically, minerals should be packaged to prevent contamination and damage during transport; check local regulations for specifics.
Is there a specific weight limit for shipments of feldspar?
