HS v2022 Code: 6815

About stone or other mineral substances; articles thereof (including carbon fibres, articles of carbon fibres and articles of peat), not elsewhere specified or included

HS code 6815 covers a diverse range of products made from stone, mineral substances, and related materials. This industry plays a crucial role in the construction, manufacturing, and energy sectors, providing essential materials and components for a wide array of applications. From building materials to specialized industrial products, the articles described under 6815 are integral to the global economy and the development of modern infrastructure.

Production process

The production techniques used in the 6815 industry vary widely depending on the specific product. Common methods include quarrying, crushing, and processing of natural stones, as well as the fabrication of articles from synthetic mineral materials. Carbon fiber production often involves the controlled pyrolysis of precursor materials, followed by weaving or molding into the desired form. Peat-based products may be extracted, dried, and compressed into various shapes and configurations.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the 6815 industry include a diverse range of raw materials, such as 2506 Quartz, 2517 Pebbles, gravel, broken or crushed stone, 2518 Dolomite, and 2704 Coke and semi-coke of coal, of lignite or of peat. Specialized machinery for quarrying, crushing, and processing these materials is also a critical input. Additionally, the production of carbon fiber and peat-based articles requires access to specific precursor materials and energy sources.

Production outputs

The 6815 industry produces a wide array of products, including building materials like tiles, slabs, and decorative elements, as well as industrial components and specialized articles. These outputs may be consumed by industries such as 6811 Articles of asbestos-cement, of cellulose fiber-cement or the like, 6901 Bricks, blocks, tiles and other ceramic goods, and 8501 Electric motors and generators.
