Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 2509 when importing chalk, such as a shipment of chalk sticks for educational purposes or chalk powder for industrial use. This code applies to both natural and manufactured chalk, ensuring you classify your goods correctly.
The sole HS-6 line under this heading is 250900, which covers all forms of chalk. When deciding on this classification, consider whether your product is in solid form (like chalk sticks) or powder form, as both fall under the same code but may have different applications.
If you're importing chalk for specific uses, such as in agriculture or construction, ensure that it aligns with the broader definition of chalk. Products that contain additives or are mixed with other materials may require a different classification.
