Acid Grade Fluorspar Lump
High-purity fluorspar lumps containing over 97% calcium fluoride, mined and crushed for industrial use in hydrofluoric acid production. This raw material falls under HTS 2529.22.00.00 due to its exceptional calcium fluoride content exceeding 97% by weight, distinguishing it from lower-grade fluorspar.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If purity is 97% or less calcium fluoride
Lower purity fluorspar falls under the general fluorspar subheading based on weight percentage threshold.
If chemically processed into synthetic calcium fluoride
Processed or synthetic forms are classified as other fluorides in Chapter 28, not natural mineral fluorspar.
If mixed with other minerals or earth colors
Blended or impure mineral products may shift to heading 2530 for miscellaneous mineral substances.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify calcium fluoride purity via certified lab assays; customs requires documentation proving >97% content
• Ensure proper MSDS and mining origin certificates to avoid misclassification as lower-grade fluorspar
• Use ventilated containers to prevent moisture absorption during transit, which could alter weight-based purity
