Sulfur Sand from Salt Domes
Fine-grained sulfur sand recovered from salt dome deposits via mining, a natural form of elemental sulfur. The sand is in a crude state with no processing beyond mining and screening, and it is not sublimed, precipitated, or colloidal, so it falls under 2503.00.00.

Bolivian Huari Huari Sulfur
High-purity native sulfur from the Huari Huari mine in Bolivia, hand-collected from high-altitude lagoons. The sulfur is in a crude state with minimal processing, and it is not sublimed, precipitated, or colloidal, so it is classifiable under 2503.00.00.
Bulk Crushed Sulfur Rock
Bulk crushed sulfur rock, mined and crushed from native sulfur deposits, used directly in sulfuric acid production. The crushing process is a permitted mechanical treatment under Chapter 25 Note 1, and the product is not sublimed, precipitated, or colloidal sulfur, so it falls under tariff item 2503.00.00.
Crude Natural Sulfur Ore
Crude natural sulfur ore extracted from volcanic or underground deposits, containing impurities like soil and moisture. It is in a crude state with no processing beyond washing or mechanical separation, consistent with Chapter 25 Note 1, and is not an excluded form, so it is classifiable under 2503.00.00.
Frasch Process Crude Sulfur
Yellowish sulfur blocks mined via the Frasch hot-water process from underground domes, unrefined with minor impurities. The product is crude sulfur, not sublimed, precipitated, or colloidal, and the mining process is a physical extraction, so it falls under 2503.00.00.
Frasch Process Sulfur
Molten sulfur extracted via the Frasch process and solidified into blocks, a natural mining method. The product is crude sulfur, not subjected to sublimation, precipitation, or colloidal processing, and the solidification is not a prohibited process, so it is covered by 2503.00.00.
Native Crude Sulfur Ore
Raw sulfur extracted directly from volcanic deposits or caprock formations, containing impurities like soil and rock. The ore is in a crude state with no processing beyond extraction, and it is not an excluded form, so it is classifiable under 2503.00.00.
