About asbestos or mixtures with a basis of asbestos (other than crocidolite); fibres, mixtures or articles n.e.c. in heading no. 6812, whether or not reinforced, not goods of heading 6811 or 6813

HS code 681299 covers a range of products containing asbestos or asbestos-based mixtures, excluding crocidolite. This industry plays a crucial role in various sectors, including construction, manufacturing, and transportation, where these materials are used for their durability, heat resistance, and insulation properties. The global asbestos industry has faced significant regulatory changes in recent decades, leading to a shift towards alternative materials in many applications.

Production process

The production of asbestos-containing products typically involves mining and processing asbestos fibers, which are then combined with other materials, such as cement or resins, to create a variety of products. These products may be molded, pressed, or woven into desired shapes and forms, depending on their intended use.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the industry covered by HS code 681299 include asbestos fibers, which are the primary raw material, as well as binders, such as cement or resins, and various additives to enhance the product's properties. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment are required for the mining, processing, and manufacturing of these products.

Production outputs

The outputs of the industry covered by HS code 681299 include a wide range of asbestos-containing products, such as 681211 Asbestos-cement products, 681219 Asbestos-cement articles, 681291 Fabricated asbestos fibers; mixtures with a basis of asbestos or with a basis of asbestos and magnesium carbonate, and other articles not elsewhere classified in heading 6812. These products are used in various applications, including construction, transportation, and industrial processes.
