HS-4 · Heading

6812 — Fabricated asbestos fibres; mixtures with a basis of asbestos or of asbestos and magnesium carbonate; articles of such mixtures or of asbestos (e.g. thread, woven fabric, clothing, footwear), whether or not reinforced, not goods of heading 6811 or 6813

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 6812 when importing products made from fabricated asbestos fibers, such as woven fabrics or clothing. For example, if you're shipping a batch of reinforced asbestos clothing, this heading applies.

To differentiate between the HS-6 lines, consider the specific type of asbestos. HS-681280 is for crocidolite (blue asbestos) products, while HS-681291 covers general asbestos clothing and accessories. If your product doesn't fit these categories, you may need HS-681299 for other asbestos mixtures.

It's crucial to confirm the exact composition of your product. If it contains crocidolite, use HS-681280. If it’s made from other types of asbestos, like chrysotile, then HS-681291 is appropriate for clothing and accessories. For miscellaneous articles, HS-681299 would be the correct choice.
