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

HS code 710231 covers the trade of unworked or simply processed diamonds that are not intended for industrial use. The diamond industry is a vital component of the global economy, with diamonds being highly valued for their rarity, durability, and use in jewelry and other luxury goods. This code encompasses the import and export of rough, uncut diamonds that have undergone basic processing, such as sawing, cleaving, or bruting, but have not yet been mounted or set into finished products.

Production process

The production of the diamonds covered by HS code 710231 typically involves several key steps. First, raw diamond deposits are mined from the earth, either through surface or underground mining techniques. The mined diamonds then undergo sorting and grading processes to assess their quality, clarity, and other characteristics. Finally, the diamonds may be subjected to basic processing methods like sawing, cleaving, or bruting to shape and prepare them for further manufacturing into finished goods.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for the production of the diamonds covered by HS code 710231 are the raw diamond deposits themselves, which are found in various regions around the world. Additionally, specialized mining and processing equipment, as well as skilled labor, are necessary to extract, sort, and prepare the unworked diamonds for further use. Energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, are also required to power the mining and processing operations.

Production outputs

The diamonds classified under HS code 710231 are typically used as inputs for the production of finished jewelry and other luxury goods. These unworked or simply processed diamonds may be further processed and set into 710239 Diamonds; non-industrial, worked, but not mounted or set or 711319 Articles of jewelry and parts thereof, of precious metal other than silver, among other related HS codes, to create the final consumer products.
