About stone; calcareous (excluding marble, travertine, alabaster) articles thereof, (other than simply cut or sawn, with a flat or even surface)

HS code 680292 covers a diverse range of calcareous stone articles, excluding marble, travertine, and alabaster. These materials are widely used in construction, architecture, and various industrial applications due to their durability, aesthetic appeal, and unique properties. The global trade in these specialized stone products plays a significant role in the broader economy, supporting industries such as 441800 Building and Furnishing and 682410 Ceramic Building Materials.

Production process

The production of articles under HS code 680292 typically involves a combination of quarrying, cutting, shaping, and finishing techniques. Quarried stones are first extracted from the earth, then cut or sawn into desired shapes and sizes. Depending on the intended use, the stones may undergo further processing, such as polishing, carving, or applying specialized coatings to enhance their appearance and durability.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the production of 680292 articles include the raw calcareous stones, such as limestone, dolomite, and various types of calcite. Specialized machinery, including stone-cutting tools, polishing equipment, and carving instruments, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, are required to power the production facilities and equipment.

Production outputs

The main outputs of the 680292 industry are a diverse range of calcareous stone articles, including tiles, slabs, sculptures, and architectural elements. These products are often used in the construction and renovation of buildings, as well as in the production of 442010 Furniture and 442090 Other Furniture and Parts. The outputs of this industry may also be consumed by industries related to 682410 Ceramic Building Materials and 682490 Other Ceramic Building Materials.
