Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 253020 when importing or exporting kieserite and epsomite, which are natural magnesium sulphates. For example, a shipment of epsomite for agricultural use would fall under this code.

This code specifically covers kieserite and epsomite, distinguishing them from other mineral substances that may be classified under different HS codes. For instance, while HS-6 253010 includes other forms of magnesium salts, HS-6 253020 is focused on these two particular minerals.

Kieserite is often used in fertilizers due to its magnesium content, while epsomite is commonly found in bath salts and as a drying agent. Both are naturally occurring and can be shipped in bulk or packaged for retail sale.

When classifying your product, ensure that it is indeed kieserite or epsomite, as other magnesium compounds may not qualify under this specific HS-6. Check the product specifications to avoid misclassification.
