HS-6 · Subheading
252922
Fluorspar; containing by weight more than 97% of calcium fluoride
Heading 2529 — Feldspar; leucite; nepheline and nepheline syenite; fluorspar
Chapter 25: Salt; sulphur; earths and stone
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 252922 when importing or exporting fluorspar that contains more than 97% calcium fluoride. For example, a shipment of fluorspar used in steel manufacturing would fall under this code.
This HS-6 line specifically covers fluorspar, a vital mineral used in various industrial applications, distinguishing it from other minerals like feldspar or leucite found under the same heading.
If you're dealing with fluorspar that contains less than 97% calcium fluoride, you would need to look at a different HS-6 code, as this line strictly applies to higher purity levels.
Understanding the specific composition of your fluorspar is crucial, as misclassification can lead to customs delays or penalties. Ensure your product meets the weight percentage requirement.
