Ceramic Grade Feldspar from Japan
Ceramic grade feldspar is a naturally occurring mineral that has been crushed, ground, and graded for use in ceramics, with low iron content to prevent discoloration in tiles and sanitaryware. It is processed only by mechanical means, such as crushing and grinding, which does not alter its chemical structure, and it is not mixed with other substances. This places it squarely under tariff item 2529.10.00 as feldspar in its crude or mechanically processed state.
