Import Tips
• Confirm the lumps are unprocessed or only crushed, with no chemical treatment or mixing
• Provide documentation of the mineral's origin and composition to support classification as feldspar
• If the lumps are ground into powder, they may still qualify, but ensure no other processing has occurred
