Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 680422 when importing or exporting millstones, grindstones, or grinding wheels made from agglomerated abrasives or ceramics. For example, if you're shipping a set of ceramic grinding wheels used in metalworking, this is the correct code.
This code specifically covers products that are not framed and are designed for grinding, sharpening, or polishing. In contrast, HS-6 680421 applies to similar items made from natural stones, which might be used for more traditional applications.
If your shipment includes grinding wheels made from synthetic materials or ceramics, rather than natural stone, HS-6 680422 is the appropriate choice. This distinction is crucial for accurate customs classification and duty assessment.
When considering other nearby codes, be aware that HS-6 680423 covers grinding wheels with frameworks, which are different from the unframed products classified under 680422.
