Calcined Kaolin Powder from Japan
Calcined kaolin powder is produced by heating natural kaolin to drive off water and alter its crystalline structure, a process explicitly allowed by the tariff text. It is used as a filler in paper to enhance brightness and opacity, and remains within tariff item 2507.00.00 as calcined kaolin.

Import Tips
• Verify that calcination is the only thermal treatment and no other additives (e.g
• silanes or surfactants) are present, as those could shift classification
• Provide the calcination temperature and end-use details to CBSA if requested
