Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If sold as construction aggregate
Gravel-sized celestite for ballast classified in 2517 per chapter note priority over 2530.
If ground to powder for chemical use
Powdered strontium sulfate treated as inorganic salt in Chapter 28, not crude mineral.
If leached for strontium extraction prep
Partially processed felspar-like materials fall under 2529, excluding crude celestite.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include geological assay reports showing natural SrSO4 matrix; declare exact strontium content for CBP verification; watch for auto-classification as barite (2530.90.20) due to similar appearance

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.
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.
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.
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
Mixed strontium minerals containing both celestite (SrSO4) and strontianite (SrCO3) from vein deposits. Principal component celestite justifies HTS 2530.90.8010 classification per essential character. Used interchangeably in strontium processing.
