Chapter 71: Natural or cultured pearls; precious stones
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 7105 when importing dust and powder derived from natural or synthetic precious or semi-precious stones, such as when shipping diamond dust for industrial use. This heading covers two main categories: diamond dust and powder, and dust from other precious stones.
When deciding between HS-6 710510 and HS-6 710590, note that 710510 specifically applies to dust and powder from diamonds. If your shipment includes dust from other stones like rubies or sapphires, you should classify it under 710590.
For shipments that include mixed dust from various stones, ensure you identify the primary component. If diamonds make up the bulk, use 710510; otherwise, opt for 710590. This distinction is crucial for accurate tariff classification and compliance.
