Products classified under HTS 2522.10.00.00
Industrial Quicklime Powder
High-calcium quicklime in fine powder form, produced by calcining limestone at high temperatures, used primarily in steelmaking for slag formation and impurity removal. Classified under HTS 2522.10.00.00 as quicklime, which is calcium oxide obtained by thermal decomposition of limestone, excluding purer forms in heading 2825.
Metallurgical Grade Quicklime
Coarse quicklime lumps specifically graded for use in blast furnaces and steel desulfurization processes. Falls under HTS 2522.10.00.00 as unslaked quicklime derived from high-purity limestone calcination.
Construction Quicklime for Mortar
High-reactivity quicklime in pebble form for slaking into lime putty used in traditional masonry mortars and plasters. HTS 2522.10.00.00 covers this as quicklime, distinct from hydraulic or slaked variants.
