Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 680911 when importing or exporting plaster boards, sheets, or panels that are reinforced with paper or paperboard. For instance, if you're shipping drywall made from plaster and faced with paper, this is the correct code.
This code specifically covers plaster products that are not ornamented and are faced solely with paper or paperboard. In contrast, HS-6 680912 includes similar plaster products but may involve additional materials or ornamentation.
When considering plaster products, it's important to note that HS-6 680911 excludes plaster items that are reinforced with materials other than paper. If your product contains fiberglass or other reinforcements, you may need to look at different classifications.
Ensure that your product descriptions clearly state the composition and facing material to avoid misclassification. Proper documentation will help customs brokers process your shipments smoothly.
