HS-4 · Heading
6810 — Cement, concrete or artificial stone; whether or not reinforced, articles thereof
Chapter 68: Articles of stone, plaster, cement
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 6810 when importing or exporting cement, concrete, or artificial stone products. For example, if you're shipping building blocks made from concrete, this heading applies. It covers various articles, including prefabricated components and tiles, whether or not reinforced.
To distinguish between the subheadings, consider the specific product type. For instance, 681011 is for building blocks or bricks, while 681019 covers tiles and flagstones. If your shipment includes concrete tiles, you would classify it under 681019 instead of 681011.
If you're dealing with prefabricated structural components, you should refer to 681091. This line includes items like pre-made concrete walls or beams. However, if your product doesn't fit into these specific categories, it might fall under 681099, which captures other articles made from cement or concrete.
