HS Code 2529 — Feldspar, Leucite, and Fluorspar

This group includes aluminosilicate minerals like feldspar and leucite, alongside fluorspar (calcium fluoride). These are primary raw materials for the glass, ceramic, and steel industries, where they act as fluxing agents.

What's included

  • Potash feldspar
  • Acid-grade fluorspar
  • Nepheline syenite
  • Soda feldspar

What's excluded

  • Fluorite as semi-precious stone → use 7103 (High-quality crystals for jewellery are in Chapter 71.)

Common examples

  • Ground feldspar for ceramics
  • Metallurgical grade fluorspar
  • Nepheline syenite powder

Frequently asked questions

Is fluorspar hazardous for shipping?

Generally no, but fine dust can be an irritant; ensure appropriate ventilation and dry storage.

Trade & shipping notes

  • Typical duty range: 0% - 5%
  • Documentation: State the grade (e.g., acid-grade vs metallurgical) clearly.
  • Typical shipping mode: Bulk
  • Top exporters: Turkey, China, Mexico
  • Top importers: Italy, Spain, USA

Key takeaway

Indispensable fluxing agents for lowering melting points in industrial ovens.
