HS-6 680710: Asphalt or similar material; articles (e.g. petroleum bitumen or coal tar pitch) in rolls

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 680710 when importing or exporting asphalt or similar materials in rolls, such as roofing felt or waterproofing membranes. For instance, a shipment of rolled roofing material made from petroleum bitumen would fall under this code.

This code specifically covers articles made from asphalt or similar materials that are packaged in rolls, distinguishing them from other forms like blocks or sheets. For example, if you have a shipment of coal tar pitch rolls, this is the correct classification.

In contrast, HS-6 680720 applies to asphalt and similar materials that are not in roll form, such as those in sheets or other shapes. If your product is a solid block of asphalt, you would need to use that code instead.
