Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If processed into potassium fertilizer
Fertilizer-grade processing moves to Chapter 31 potassic fertilizers.
If in crude/unconcentrated form
Unprocessed crude leucite uses statistical suffix .10, not 'other' .50.
If mixed with perlite or vermiculite
Chapter note specifies heading 2530 for mixed mineral products like unexpanded perlite blends.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide assay reports showing leucite content >70% to prevent reclassification as general mineral mixtures
• Check CITES permits if sourced from protected volcanic regions; improper docs cause 100% duty penalties
• Declare exact particle size distribution; fines risk heading 2517 classification as 'pebbles/grit'
