Heading 7102Diamonds, whether or not worked, but not mounted or set

Chapter 71: Natural or cultured pearls; precious stones

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 710210 when importing or exporting unsorted diamonds that are not mounted or set. For example, if you're shipping a bulk lot of rough diamonds for processing, this is the correct code.

This HS-6 line specifically covers unsorted diamonds, distinguishing them from HS-6 710211, which pertains to diamonds that are sorted by quality or size. If your shipment includes both types, ensure you classify them correctly.

Diamonds classified under this code can be in various forms, including uncut stones or those that have undergone minimal processing. They are often sold to manufacturers for cutting and polishing.

When dealing with unsorted diamonds, it's important to consider their end-use. Are they intended for jewelry production, industrial applications, or investment purposes? This can affect your import/export documentation.
