Production process

The production techniques for items under HS code 970510 vary widely, as they encompass a broad range of artifacts. Many of these items are discovered through archaeological excavations, where they are carefully documented, preserved, and prepared for display or further study.

Production inputs

The inputs required for the production of items under HS code 970510 are highly diverse and dependent on the specific nature of the artifacts.
