HS v2022 Code: 681019

About cement, concrete or artificial stone; tiles, flagstones and similar, (excluding building blocks and bricks) whether or not reinforced

HS code 681019 covers a diverse range of construction materials, including cement, concrete, and artificial stone products. These materials play a crucial role in the global construction industry, providing the foundation for buildings, infrastructure, and various other structures. The demand for these products is closely tied to economic growth and development, making this industry a key driver of economic activity worldwide.

Production process

The production of the materials covered under HS code 681019 typically involves a combination of mixing, molding, and curing processes. Cement, the primary binding agent, is produced by grinding and heating limestone, clay, and other raw materials. Concrete is then created by mixing cement, aggregates (such as sand and gravel), and water. Artificial stone products, on the other hand, are often made by casting or molding a mixture of cement, aggregates, and various additives to achieve desired properties and aesthetics.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the materials under HS code 681019 include limestone, clay, sand, gravel, and water. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as cement mills, concrete mixers, and molding equipment, are essential for the manufacturing process. Energy sources, such as electricity or fossil fuels, are also necessary to power the production facilities.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 681019 are cement, concrete, and a wide range of artificial stone products, including tiles, flagstones, and other construction materials. These outputs are then consumed by various other industries, such as 460100 Construction, 460200 Building and construction, and 460300 Civil engineering, which use these materials to build and maintain infrastructure, buildings, and other structures.
