Stones; of heading no. 2515 or 2516 (excluding marble), in granules, chippings and powder, whether or not heat-treated

HS v2022 Code: 251749

About stones; of heading no. 2515 or 2516 (excluding marble), in granules, chippings and powder, whether or not heat-treated

HS code 251749 covers a diverse range of non-marble stones that are processed into granules, chippings, and powder. These materials are widely used in construction, landscaping, and various industrial applications. The global trade in these stone products is a significant component of the broader mining and quarrying industry, which plays a crucial role in supporting economic development and infrastructure projects worldwide.

Production process

The production of the materials covered under HS code 251749 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw stones are extracted from quarries or mines using heavy machinery and explosives. The extracted stones are then crushed, ground, and sieved to produce the desired particle sizes and grades. In some cases, the stones may undergo heat treatment to modify their physical properties or appearance. The final products are then packaged and distributed to various end-users.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the materials covered under HS code 251749 include the raw stones, such as granite, limestone, and sandstone, as well as the machinery and equipment necessary for extraction, crushing, and processing. Energy sources, such as electricity or diesel fuel, are also essential for powering the production equipment. Additionally, labor and transportation services are necessary to support the various stages of the production and distribution process.

Production outputs

The materials produced under HS code 251749 are primarily used in construction, landscaping, and various industrial applications. These stone products can be used as aggregates in concrete and asphalt, as fillers in paints and coatings, and as abrasives in polishing and cleaning processes. The outputs of this industry may also be consumed by other industries, such as 251511 Marble and travertine, crude or roughly trimmed, 251512 (Marble and travertine, merely cut, by sawing or otherwise, into blocks or slabs of a rectangular (including square) shape), and 251611 Granite, crude or roughly trimmed.
