Water-Washed Kaolin from Japan
Water-washed kaolin is beneficiated by washing with water to remove sand and improve brightness for various applications. Washing is explicitly permitted under chapter note 1 as a physical process that does not alter the clay's structure, so it remains classifiable under tariff item 2507.00.00.

• bleaching agents) are used
• If the kaolin is dispersed in water, note that the statistical unit of measure excludes water weight for this tariff item
