HS-4 · Heading
2715 — Bituminous mixtures based on natural asphalt; on natural bitumen, on petroleum bitumen, on mineral tar or on mineral tar pitch (e.g. bituminous mastics, cut-backs)
Chapter 27: Mineral fuels, oils
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 2715 when importing bituminous mixtures, such as those used in road construction or roofing materials. For example, if you're shipping a product like a bituminous mastic for sealing roofs, this code applies.
When determining the right HS-6 code, consider the specific type of bituminous mixture. HS-6 271500 covers all mixtures based on natural asphalt, natural bitumen, petroleum bitumen, mineral tar, or mineral tar pitch, which includes various applications like adhesives or sealants.
If your product is a specialized formulation, such as a cut-back bitumen used in cold weather applications, verify if it fits under HS-6 271500. This code is broad enough to encompass different forms, but ensure your product's characteristics align with the description.
