Celestite Flotation Concentrate
Wet-processed celestite concentrate from froth flotation (97% SrSO4), dried but uncalcined. Still classified as crude celestite under HTS 2530.90.8010 since beneficiation doesn't constitute chemical change. Feedstock for strontium carbonate production.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If chemically beneficiated beyond flotation
Advanced chemical purification moves to Chapter 28 salts.
If rejected concentrate as waste aggregate
Low-grade flotation tailings used as gravel fall under 2517 priority heading.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Document flotation process doesn't alter mineral structure (XRD proof); declare moisture content accurately; distinguish from chemically precipitated SrSO4

Raw Celestite Ore
Natural strontium sulfate mineral ore extracted from sedimentary deposits, primarily composed of celestite (SrSO4) with minor impurities. Classified under HTS 2530.90.8010 as celestite, a mineral substance not elsewhere specified in Chapter 25. Supplied in bulk for processing into strontium compounds.
Celestite Mineral Lumps
Hand-sorted celestite lumps (5-50mm) from Mexican deposits, containing 95-98% SrSO4. Falls under HTS 2530.90.8010 as unprocessed celestite mineral for strontium extraction. Used in fireworks and glass production.
Natural Celestite Crystals
Transparent celestite crystal clusters from Sidoarjo, Indonesia mines, prized for strontium content and collector value. HTS 2530.90.8010 covers these unworked mineral specimens. Used in metallurgical flux and pyrotechnics.
Mexican Blue Celestite Ore
Characteristic blue celestite ore from Coahuila, Mexico deposits (96% SrSO4), exported in 50kg bags. HTS 2530.90.8010 specifically identifies celestite mineral from primary global source. Supplies 70% of world strontium demand.
Strontianite-Celestite Mixed Ore
