HS-4 · Heading

6803 — Slate, worked; and articles of slate or of agglomerated slate

Chapter 68: Articles of stone, plaster, cement

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 6803 when importing or exporting worked slate or articles made from agglomerated slate. For example, if you're shipping slate tiles for flooring or slate boards for chalk writing, this code applies directly to your products.

When deciding between HS-6 680300, consider the specific type of slate product. If you have worked slate items like slabs or tiles, this code is appropriate. However, if your product is a composite or agglomerated slate item, ensure it fits the description accurately to avoid misclassification.

The distinction between worked slate and agglomerated slate can be subtle. If your shipment consists of natural slate that has been cut or polished, it falls under 680300. In contrast, if your product is a manufactured item made from slate waste or other materials bonded together, confirm that it meets the criteria for agglomerated slate.
