Import Tips & Compliance
• Test for alkali content variability which affects glass batch chemistry and classification proofs
• Label containers with flash point warnings if fines pose dust explosion risk during handling
• File entry with silica (SiO2) percentages to preempt challenges from overly fine grinding claims

Potassium Feldspar Powder
Potassium feldspar, also known as orthoclase, is a common rock-forming mineral mined and ground into powder for use as a flux in ceramic glazes and porcelain production. This product falls under HTS 2529.10.00.00 as it is natural feldspar that has been crushed and milled but remains chemically unchanged, classified specifically as feldspar in Chapter 25.
Sodium Feldspar Lumps
Sodium feldspar (albite) in lump form is extracted from pegmatite deposits and used primarily in glass manufacturing as a source of alumina and silica. Classified under HTS 2529.10.00.00 as raw feldspar, it has undergone minimal processing like crushing to lump size without chemical alteration.
Ceramic Grade Feldspar
High-quality feldspar graded for ceramics, with low iron content to prevent discoloration in tiles and sanitaryware. It is natural feldspar plug for sanitaryware glazes under HTS 2529.10.00.00, as it remains an unprocessed aluminosilicate mineral.
Leucite Ore Feldspar
Feldspar extracted from leucite-rich volcanic rocks, used in specialty ceramics requiring high potash flux. Classified as feldspar under HTS 2529.10.00.00 despite leucite association, as primary mineral is feldspar.
Nepheline Syenite Feldspar Blend
Blended feldspar from nepheline syenite deposits, offering low iron and high alkali for paint extenders and ceramics. HTS 2529.10.00.00 applies to the dominant feldspar component in this natural mineral product.
