About sandstone;. whether or not roughly trimmed, cut, by sawing etc, into blocks or slabs of a rectangular (including square) shape

HS code 251620 covers the classification of sandstone, a sedimentary rock that is widely used in construction, landscaping, and various industrial applications. Sandstone is a versatile and durable material that has been utilized by human civilizations for centuries, playing a crucial role in the development of infrastructure, architecture, and the broader economy.

Production process

The production of sandstone typically involves the extraction of raw materials from quarries or natural deposits, followed by various processing techniques. These may include cutting, trimming, and sawing the sandstone into blocks or slabs of a rectangular (including square) shape, as specified by the HS code. The specific methods used can vary depending on the desired size, shape, and quality of the final product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the sandstone industry include the raw sandstone material, which is obtained from natural deposits or quarries. Additionally, specialized equipment such as saws, cutting tools, and transportation vehicles are necessary for the extraction, processing, and distribution of the finished products.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 251620 is processed sandstone in the form of blocks or slabs. These materials are widely used in construction, landscaping, and various industrial applications. The output of this industry may be consumed by other HS codes, such as 680221 Monumental or building stone and articles thereof, simply cut or sawn, with a flat or even surface, 680229 Monumental or building stone and articles thereof, simply cut or sawn, with a flat or even surface, other, and 680291 Monumental or building stone and articles thereof, other than simply cut or sawn, with a flat or even surface, among others.
