About asbestos or mixtures with a basis of asbestos (other than crocidolite); compressed asbestos fibre jointing, in sheets or rolls, whether or not reinforced, not goods of heading 6811 or 6813

HS code 681293 covers a range of asbestos-based products, excluding crocidolite (blue asbestos). These materials are widely used in various industrial applications due to their exceptional heat resistance, durability, and insulating properties. The asbestos industry plays a crucial role in supporting the construction, automotive, and manufacturing sectors, contributing significantly to the broader economy.

Production process

The production of goods under HS code 681293 typically involves the processing of asbestos fibers, either alone or in combination with other materials. The fibers are compressed and formed into sheets or rolls, which can then be reinforced with additional materials as required. This process ensures the final products maintain their structural integrity and performance characteristics.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the production of goods under HS code 681293 are asbestos fibers, which are sourced from mining operations. Additionally, the industry may utilize various binders, adhesives, and reinforcing materials, such as 6811 Articles of asbestos-cement, of cellulose fiber-cement or the like or 6813 (Friction material and articles thereof (for example, sheets, rolls, strips, segments, discs, washers, pads), not mounted, for brakes, for clutches or the like, with a basis of asbestos, of other mineral substances or of cellulose, whether or not combined with textile or other materials).

Production outputs

The main outputs of the industry covered by HS code 681293 are compressed asbestos fiber jointing materials, which are used in a variety of applications, such as gaskets, seals, and insulation. These products are often consumed by industries like 8407 Spark-ignition reciprocating or rotary internal combustion piston engines and 8408 (Compression-ignition internal combustion piston engines (diesel or semi-diesel engines)) for use in engine components, as well as the construction industry for insulation and sealing purposes.

Revisions to 681293
