2517.49.00.00 - Other

HTS code 2517.49.00.00 encompasses granules, chippings, and powder derived from stones classified under headings 2515 or 2516, specifically when these materials are not of marble. Heading 2515 primarily covers marble, travertine, and alabaster and articles thereof, while heading 2516 covers the rest of the stone products (other than those of heading 6802). Therefore, this category is for the processed forms (granules, chippings, powder) of these stones, excluding those originating from marble.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling, 2517.41.00.00, by the absence of marble as the base material. While 2517.41.00.00 specifically enumerates processed stone products derived from marble, 2517.49.00.00 captures such products made from any other stone falling within the scope of headings 2515 or 2516. The key differentiating factor is the type of stone from which the granules, chippings, or powder are produced.

As a leaf node, HTS code 2517.49.00.00 does not have further subcategories. Its scope is defined by the materials it covers: processed forms of non-marble stones from headings 2515 and 2516. This includes, but is not limited to, granules, chippings, and powders derived from stones such as granite, basalt, sandstone, or other igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary rocks that are not marble, travertine, or alabaster. The intended use, such as for abrasives, fillers, or other industrial applications, is secondary to the material origin when classifying under this code.
