High-Purity Silica Sand for Glass Manufacturing from Japan
This ultra-pure silica sand contains 95% or more silica and no more than 0.6% iron oxide, making it ideal for producing high-clarity glass such as bottles and windows. Its low iron content prevents discoloration in the final glass product. Classified under HTS 2505.10.10.00 due to meeting the strict silica purity and iron oxide limits.

Import Tips
• Obtain mill test reports certifying silica content ≥95% and iron oxide ≤0.6% to avoid reclassification
• Ensure proper packaging to prevent contamination during transit, as purity is critical for end-use
• Declare exact chemical analysis; common pitfall is mislabeling as general silica sand
