Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 6804 when importing millstones, grindstones, or grinding wheels that are used for tasks like sharpening tools or polishing surfaces. For example, if you're bringing in a shipment of natural stone grindstones for a local manufacturing facility, this heading applies.

Choosing the correct subheading is crucial. If your product is a diamond grinding wheel, you should classify it under 680421. However, if it’s made from other agglomerated materials or ceramics, then 680422 is the right choice. Knowing the material composition helps narrow down your options.
