Natural Epsom Salt Crystals
Naturally occurring epsom salts (magnesium sulfate heptahydrate) mined from mineral deposits, appearing as transparent to white crystals. Classified under HTS 2530.20.2000 as natural epsom salts, distinct from synthetic or precipitated magnesium sulfate in heading 2833. Used primarily in agriculture as a magnesium fertilizer source.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If chemically precipitated or synthetic
Synthetic magnesium sulfate is classified as chemicals of heading 2833, not natural minerals.
If sold as formulated fertilizer
Urea-ammonium nitrate mixtures or blended fertilizers fall under Chapter 31, not raw minerals.
If processed into powder for retail
Heavily processed or ground mineral substances may classify under other 2530 subheadings.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify natural origin with geological source certificates to distinguish from synthetic magnesium sulfate under 2833
• Ensure product is unprocessed crystals, not dissolved/reconstituted, as processing may shift to chemical headings
