Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 681299 when importing or exporting articles made from asbestos or mixtures that include asbestos, excluding crocidolite. For instance, if you're shipping woven fabrics made from asbestos mixtures, this code applies.
This subheading narrows down the broader category of fabricated asbestos fibres under 6812. Unlike 6811, which covers specific asbestos goods like insulation products, 681299 includes a variety of articles not specifically listed elsewhere.
If your product is a non-reinforced article made from asbestos or a mixture with asbestos, such as certain types of clothing or footwear, you should classify it under 681299. This is distinct from 6811, which focuses on specific asbestos insulation materials.
When considering similar codes, note that 681298 covers other asbestos articles that may include crocidolite, while 681299 is strictly for those that do not. This distinction is crucial for compliance and accurate tariff classification.
