Diamonds; industrial, (other than unworked or simply sawn, cleaved or bruted), but not mounted or set

HS code 710229 covers industrial diamonds that have been processed beyond the initial unworked or simply sawn, cleaved, or bruted stages. These diamonds are an essential raw material for a wide range of industries, from manufacturing and construction to electronics and healthcare. Their unique properties, such as exceptional hardness and thermal conductivity, make them indispensable for various applications, contributing significantly to the global economy.

The production of industrial diamonds under HS code 710229 typically involves a series of advanced processing techniques. After the initial mining or synthesis of raw diamonds, they undergo various cutting, shaping, and polishing processes to achieve the desired specifications. These techniques may include laser cutting, computer-controlled grinding, and precision polishing to create the required size, shape, and surface finish for specific industrial applications.

The main inputs required for the production of industrial diamonds under HS code 710229 include raw diamond materials, specialized cutting and polishing equipment, and skilled labor. Depending on the specific application, additional inputs such as 848620 Machines and apparatus for the manufacture of semiconductor devices or of electronic integrated circuits or 840490 Parts of machinery and apparatus for the treatment of materials by a process involving a change of temperature may be necessary.

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 710229 are processed industrial diamonds, which are then used as key components in a wide range of industries. These diamonds may be incorporated into 820719 (Interchangeable tools for hand tools, whether or not power-operated, or for machine-tools (for example, for pressing, stamping, punching, tapping, threading, drilling, boring, broaching, milling, turning or screwdriving), including dies for drawing or extruding metal, and rock drilling or earth boring tools), 848620 Machines and apparatus for the manufacture of semiconductor devices or of electronic integrated circuits, and 902190 Orthopaedic appliances, including crutches, surgical belts and trusses; splints and other fracture appliances; artificial parts of the body; hearing aids and other appliances which are worn or carried, or implanted in the body, to compensate for a defect or disability.
