HS v2022 Code: 710210

About diamonds; whether or not worked, but not mounted or set, unsorted

HS code 710210 covers the trade of diamonds, both worked and unworked, that are not mounted or set. Diamonds are a highly valuable and sought-after commodity, playing a crucial role in the global jewelry industry as well as various industrial applications. This code encompasses a significant segment of the precious stones trade, which is an important contributor to the overall economy.

Production process

The production of diamonds involves several key steps. Natural diamonds are mined from the earth's crust, where they are formed under intense heat and pressure over billions of years. Once extracted, the diamonds undergo a process of sorting, cutting, and polishing to enhance their clarity, brilliance, and overall quality. Advanced techniques, such as laser cutting and computer-aided design, have revolutionized the diamond processing industry, allowing for greater precision and efficiency.

Production inputs

The primary input for the diamond industry is, of course, the raw diamond material. This requires specialized mining operations, often in remote or challenging locations. Additionally, the industry relies on a range of machinery and tools, including cutting and polishing equipment, as well as skilled labor to perform the various processing steps. Energy sources, such as electricity and fuel, are also essential inputs for the diamond industry's operations.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 710210 is unset, unworked, or worked diamonds. These diamonds can then be used in the production of 711311 jewelry, 711319 other articles of precious metal, and various industrial applications, such as 901380 optical elements. The diamond industry's outputs are highly valuable and contribute significantly to the global trade of precious stones and related products.
