Himalayan pink salt, rock salt and salt licks are normally declared under HS heading 2501.00 (salt, including table salt and denatured salt). National tariffs extend the code – for example US HTS 2501.00.00, and EU / UK CN 2501 00 91 for salt suitable for human consumption. Electrified salt lamps are often classified under lamp headings.
