HS-4 · Heading

6815 — Stone or other mineral substances; articles thereof (including carbon fibres, articles of carbon fibres and articles of peat), not elsewhere specified or included

Chapter 68: Articles of stone, plaster, cement

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 6815 when importing items made from stone or other mineral substances, including carbon fibres. For example, if you're shipping carbon fibre fabrics for industrial applications, this heading applies. Understanding the specific subheading is crucial for compliance and accurate tariff classification.

When deciding between the HS-6 lines under 6815, consider the end use of the product. For instance, 681511 covers carbon fibres for non-electrical uses, while 681512 is specifically for fabrics made from those fibres. If your product is a finished article made from carbon fibres, you would look at 681513 instead.

If your shipment includes peat or articles made from peat, you should refer to 681520. However, if your items are stone articles containing specific minerals like magnesite or dolomite, then 681591 is the correct choice. For items that don’t fit neatly into these categories, 681599 is your fallback option.
