HS Code 2529Feldspar; leucite; nepheline and nepheline syenite; fluorspar
4 six-digit codes · Heading 28 of 29 in Chapter 25 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 2529 groups four industrial minerals: feldspar, leucite, nepheline syenite and fluorspar. The right code depends on which mineral you ship and, for fluorspar, how pure it is.
Goods answering to “Feldspar; leucite; nepheline and nepheline syenite; fluorspar” split into 4 six-digit codes, 252910 through 252930. Each one carries its own customs description, and the exact wording below is what a classification has to match. The heading is number 28 of 29 in Chapter 25, Salt; sulphur; earths, stone; plastering materials, lime and cement, which runs to 67 six-digit codes in all.
HS code 2529: what it covers
This heading belongs to Mineral Products. It is for minerals dug from the ground and sold as raw material. Factories use them to make glass, ceramics, metals and chemicals. If you searched for the feldspar HS code or the HSN code 2529, you are in the right place.
Feldspar comes in several types, such as potash feldspar and soda feldspar. Both are still feldspar for customs purposes. Buyers often talk about acid grade fluorspar or metallurgical grade fluorspar. Those trade names do not decide the code. The Harmonized System looks only at the share of calcium fluoride by weight.
Leucite, nepheline and nepheline syenite are grouped together in one line of the Harmonized System classification. You do not need to split them.
Fluorspar HS code 252921 vs 252922
The tariff text draws one line at 97 per cent calcium fluoride by weight. Material at or below that line goes to 252921. Material above it goes to 252922. A cargo at exactly 97 per cent sits in the lower group.
Use the figure for your own shipment. A lab certificate or assay report is the usual place to find it. Do not pick the code from a trade name or a grade label alone. A wrong code can cause a wrong declaration and delays at the border.
How to choose the right code under 2529
Work through these steps in order. Stop at the first one that fits your product.
If you are still unsure, run your product description through the HS code classifier. Duty is set by each country, so check rates with your own customs authority.
- Read the mineral name on your invoice and your lab report.
- Feldspar of any type: 252910.
- Fluorspar: find the calcium fluoride share by weight, then pick 252921 or 252922.
- Leucite, nepheline or nepheline syenite: 252930.
- Mineral not named here: look at the nearby headings below.
Similar headings in Chapter 25
Some minerals look alike but sit elsewhere. Quartz and quartzite belong to heading 2506. Kaolin and kaolinic clays belong to heading 2507. Other clays, andalusite, kyanite, sillimanite and mullite belong to heading 2508.
If your mineral is not named in 2529 or in any other heading, it may fall under 2530. Read its exact wording before you use it.

Feldspar has its own code, 252910. It sits under heading 2529.
What is the HS code for fluorspar?
Fluorspar has two codes, 252921 and 252922. Calcium fluoride content decides which one applies.
What is the difference between HS 252921 and 252922?

It is 252930. That code also takes leucite and nepheline.
What is the HS code for fluorspar with more than 97 per cent calcium fluoride?
Use 252922. Confirm the figure on your lab report before you declare it.
