About stone or other mineral substances; articles thereof (including articles of peat), n.e.c. or included

HS code 6815 covers a diverse range of products made from stone, mineral substances, and peat. This industry plays a vital role in the construction, manufacturing, and energy sectors, providing essential materials and components. The products within this code contribute to the broader economy by enabling the development of infrastructure, buildings, and various industrial applications.

Production process

The production techniques for the articles covered under HS code 6815 vary depending on the specific product. Common methods include quarrying, crushing, molding, and fabrication. Processes such as cutting, polishing, and heat treatment may also be employed to create the desired shapes, finishes, and properties for the final products.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the industries under HS code 6815 include various types of stone (e.g., granite, marble, limestone), mineral substances (e.g., clay, silica, asbestos), and peat. Additionally, these industries may utilize specialized machinery, tools, and energy sources to extract, process, and shape the raw materials into the final articles.

Production outputs

The outputs of the industries covered by HS code 6815 include a wide range of products, such as 6801 (Setts, curbstones and flagstones, of natural stone (except slate)), 6802 (Worked monumental or building stone and articles thereof, other than goods of heading 6801; mosaic cubes and the like, of natural stone (including slate), whether or not on a backing; artificially colored granules, chippings and powder, of natural stone (including slate)), 6803 Worked slate and articles of slate or of agglomerated slate, and 6804 Millstones, grindstones, grinding wheels and the like, without frameworks, for grinding, sharpening, polishing, trueing or cutting, hand sharpening or polishing stones, and parts thereof, of natural stone, of agglomerated natural or artificial abrasives, or of ceramics, with or without parts of other materials. These products are widely used in the construction, manufacturing, and energy industries.
