In plain English
This category includes natural barium sulphate, also known as barytes, and natural barium carbonate, referred to as witherite. The barium carbonate may have been heated but must not be barium oxide. The goods are separated into two groups: one for natural barium sulphate and another for natural barium carbonate that has or has not been calcined.
