Carbonates; calcium carbonate

HS v2017 Code: 283650

About carbonates; calcium carbonate

HS code 283650 covers the classification of calcium carbonate, a widely used mineral compound that plays a crucial role in various industries. Calcium carbonate is a naturally occurring substance found in rocks, shells, and other natural sources. It is an essential raw material for numerous applications, including construction, manufacturing, agriculture, and pharmaceuticals, making it a vital component of the global economy.

Production process

The production of calcium carbonate typically involves the extraction and processing of limestone, chalk, or other calcium-rich minerals. The main production techniques include mining, crushing, grinding, and purification to obtain the desired purity and particle size distribution. Depending on the intended use, calcium carbonate may undergo further processing, such as chemical treatment or micronization, to enhance its properties and performance.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for the production of calcium carbonate include the raw materials (limestone, chalk, or other calcium-rich minerals), energy sources (such as electricity or fuel for mining and processing operations), and specialized equipment (crushers, grinders, and purification systems). Additionally, the production process may require water, chemicals, and other ancillary materials depending on the specific applications and quality requirements.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 283650 is calcium carbonate, which is used in a wide range of industries. Some of the main consumers of calcium carbonate include the 252100 Construction, 330500 Cosmetics, 300490 Pharmaceuticals, 210690 Food and beverage, and 681011 Manufacturing sectors. Calcium carbonate is also used as a filler and extender in various products, such as paints, plastics, and rubber.
