HS v2022 Code: 253090

About mineral substances; n.e.c. in chapter 25

HS code 253090 covers a diverse range of mineral substances that are not classified elsewhere in Chapter 25 of the Harmonized System. These materials play a crucial role in various industries, from construction and manufacturing to agriculture and environmental applications. As a broad category, the products under this code contribute significantly to the global economy, supporting a wide range of economic activities and supply chains.

Production process

The production techniques for the mineral substances covered under HS code 253090 can vary widely depending on the specific material. In general, these substances are extracted from natural deposits, such as mines or quarries, using a combination of mechanical and chemical processes. The extraction methods may involve blasting, crushing, grinding, and screening to separate the desired minerals from the surrounding rock or soil. Further processing, such as purification or chemical treatment, may be required to meet the specific quality and purity requirements of different applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the mineral substances under HS code 253090 include the raw materials, which are the natural mineral deposits found in the earth's crust. Depending on the specific mineral, the extraction and processing may also require various types of machinery, such as excavators, crushers, and processing equipment. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, are often needed to power the production facilities and equipment.

Production outputs

The mineral substances classified under HS code 253090 have a wide range of applications and are used as inputs for various other industries. These materials may be used in the production of 252329 Cement clinkers, 252390 Other hydraulic cements, 252100 Limestone flux; limestone and other calcareous stone, of a kind used for the manufacture of lime or cement, and 252010 Gypsum; anhydrite, among other products. The specific outputs and their downstream applications can vary significantly based on the type of mineral substance.
