Diamonds; industrial, unworked or simply sawn, cleaved or bruted, but not mounted or set

HS v2017 Code: 710221

About diamonds; industrial, unworked or simply sawn, cleaved or bruted, but not mounted or set

HS code 710221 covers industrial diamonds that are unworked or simply sawn, cleaved, or bruted (a process of smoothing the surface). These diamonds are an essential raw material for a wide range of industries, from construction and manufacturing to electronics and jewelry. As a key input for many high-value products, the trade in industrial diamonds plays a significant role in the global economy.

Production process

Industrial diamonds are primarily produced through two main methods: mining and synthetic production. Mining involves extracting diamonds from kimberlite or lamproite deposits, while synthetic diamonds are created in a laboratory environment using advanced technology to replicate the natural diamond formation process. Both methods yield diamonds that are then sorted, cut, and polished to meet the specific requirements of various industries.

Production inputs

The production of industrial diamonds requires access to significant natural resources, such as the kimberlite and lamproite deposits where diamonds are found. Additionally, the synthetic production of diamonds relies on specialized machinery, equipment, and energy-intensive processes. Skilled labor, including geologists, engineers, and diamond cutters, is also a crucial input for this industry.

Production outputs

Industrial diamonds produced under HS code 710221 are used as abrasives, cutting tools, and in a variety of other industrial applications. The outputs of this industry are often consumed by manufacturers in sectors such as 820713 Interchangeable tools for hand tools, 840991 Parts suitable for use solely or principally with the engines of heading 8407 or 8408, and 901380 Optical devices, appliances and instruments, n.e.s. in chapter 90.
