Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If marketed as chemical calcium hydroxide solution
Solutions or suspensions of pure Ca(OH)2 are classified as hydroxides in Chapter 28.
If containing cement clinker as hydraulic lime
Portland cement-based hydraulic limes fall under cement headings.
If pre-mixed into refractory mortar sets
Prepared refractory compositions move to Chapter 69 worked articles.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Maintain moisture content records during import to prove it's wet putty, not dried powder
• Use non-reactive containers to prevent carbonation en route, which could affect classification
• Provide end-use declarations for construction to differentiate from agricultural or water treatment uses

Hydrated Lime Powder for Construction
Finely ground slaked lime produced by reacting quicklime with water, used primarily as a mortar additive in bricklaying and plastering. It falls under HTS 2522.20.00.00 as slaked lime, distinct from pure calcium hydroxide preparations in heading 2825. This quicklime-derived product hydrates to form a putty-like consistency for building applications.
Agricultural Hydrated Lime for Soil pH Adjustment
Coarse slaked lime granules applied to acidic soils to raise pH and supply calcium for crop growth. HTS 2522.20.00.00 covers this quicklime-hydrated product used in farming, separate from Chapter 31 fertilizers. It neutralizes soil acidity without nitrogen or phosphate additives.
Water Treatment Slaked Lime
High-calcium slaked lime powder dosed into water for pH control, softening, and impurity removal in municipal plants. Under HTS 2522.20.00.00 as mineral-derived slaked lime, not synthetic hydroxide of 2825. It reacts to precipitate hardness minerals effectively.
Flue Gas Desulfurization Slaked Lime
Reactive slaked lime injected into power plant scrubbers to capture SO2 emissions, forming gypsum byproduct. HTS 2522.20.00.00 applies to this industrial mineral product from hydrated quicklime. Essential for coal-fired emission controls.
Limewash Paint Base Slaked Lime
Slaked lime in powder or putty form mixed with pigments for breathable limewash coatings on historic buildings. Classified HTS 2522.20.00.00 as pure slaked lime, not Chapter 32 paints. Provides antifungal, vapor-permeable finishes.
Dolomitic Hydrated Lime
Partially slaked dolomitic lime containing magnesium for acid neutralization in steel production and agriculture. HTS 2522.20.00.00 includes this quicklime variant, differentiated from pure hydraulic lime. Offers slower reaction for sustained pH control.
