Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 6811 when importing or exporting products made from asbestos-cement or cellulose fibre-cement, such as roofing sheets or building panels. For example, if you're shipping corrugated roofing sheets made from asbestos-cement, this is the correct classification.

Choosing between the HS-6 lines can be tricky. If your product is a corrugated sheet made of asbestos-cement, select 681140. However, if your product is a cellulose fibre-cement corrugated sheet, you'll need 681181 instead. Pay close attention to the material composition to avoid misclassification.

For non-corrugated cellulose fibre-cement products, such as flat panels or tiles, you would use 681182. If your product doesn't fit into the specified categories of sheets or panels, then 681189 may apply. Always verify the specific characteristics of your product to choose the right subheading.
