Stones; of heading no. 2515 or 2516 (excluding marble), in granules, chippings and powder, whether or not heat-treated

HS v2017 Code: 251749

About stones; of heading no. 2515 or 2516 (excluding marble), in granules, chippings and powder, whether or not heat-treated

HS code 251749 covers a diverse range of natural stone products, excluding marble, that are processed into granules, chippings, and powder. These materials are widely used in construction, landscaping, and various industrial applications. As a key component of the global mining and quarrying industry, this code represents an important segment of the broader economy, contributing to infrastructure development, manufacturing, and resource utilization worldwide.

Production process

The production of the materials covered under HS code 251749 typically involves a multi-step process. First, natural stone deposits are extracted from quarries or mines using heavy machinery and explosives. The extracted raw materials are then crushed, ground, and sieved to produce the desired particle sizes, ranging from coarse granules to fine powder. Depending on the specific application, the processed stones may undergo additional treatments, such as heat treatment, to modify their physical properties or appearance.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the industries covered under HS code 251749 are the natural stone deposits, which can include various types of granite, limestone, sandstone, and other non-marble stones. In addition to the raw materials, the production process requires specialized mining and processing equipment, such as crushers, grinders, and sieving machines. Energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, are also essential inputs for powering the production facilities and transportation of the final products.

Production outputs

The materials produced under HS code 251749 are used in a wide range of applications, including 252329 Cement, 680100 Paving blocks, slabs, bricks, and similar articles, of natural stone, 680221 Marble, travertine, and alabaster, simply cut or sawn, with a flat or even surface, and 680293 Granite, simply cut or sawn, with a flat or even surface. These processed stone products are often incorporated into construction materials, landscaping features, and various industrial processes, making them an essential component of the global economy.
