What types of products are classified under HS-6 252930?

HS-6 252930 covers leucite, nepheline, and nepheline syenite, primarily used in glass and ceramics manufacturing.

How can I confirm my product is correctly classified under this HS code?

Check the mineral composition and intended use. If it’s raw leucite or nepheline for glass production, it likely fits this code.

Are there any specific regulations for importing nepheline syenite?

Yes, ensure compliance with local regulations regarding mineral imports, including any necessary permits or documentation.

What is the difference between nepheline and feldspar?

Nepheline is a different mineral than feldspar, with distinct chemical properties and applications, which is why they have separate HS codes.

Can I use HS-6 252930 for processed leucite?

If the processed leucite is intended for glass or ceramics, it may still fall under this code, but verify with customs for specific classifications.

How does HS-6 252930 relate to other mineral codes?

HS-6 252930 is specific to leucite and nepheline, while other codes like HS-6 252911 cover feldspar, which has different applications.

What documentation is needed for exporting nepheline syenite?

Typically, you will need a commercial invoice, packing list, and possibly a certificate of origin, depending on the destination country.

Is there a duty rate for HS-6 252930?

Duty rates can vary by country, so check with your local customs authority for the specific rates applicable to this HS code.

HS-6 252930: Leucite; nepheline and nepheline syenite

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 252930 when importing or exporting leucite, nepheline, and nepheline syenite. These minerals are often used in glass and ceramics manufacturing. For example, a shipment of nepheline syenite used as a filler in ceramics would fall under this code.

This code specifically covers leucite and nepheline minerals, which are critical in producing high-quality glass and ceramics. In contrast, HS-6 252910 covers fluorspar, which is used primarily in metallurgical processes and has different applications.

When classifying your products, note that nepheline syenite is distinct from feldspar, which is classified under HS-6 252911. While both are used in similar industries, their chemical compositions and end uses differ significantly.

If you're unsure whether your product fits this classification, consider the mineral's end use. For instance, if you're dealing with raw leucite for glass production, this HS-6 is appropriate, but if it’s processed differently, you might need to look at other codes.
