6815 9941 70
Overview
This HTS classification, 6815.99.41, covers "Other" articles of mineral substances not elsewhere specified or included. These are typically manufactured articles derived from materials like stone, plaster, cement, asbestos, mica, or similar mineral compounds, which do not fit into more specific subheadings within the broader Chapter 68. The "Other" designation signifies a residual category for articles that, while falling under the general scope of mineral-based articles, lack a more precise descriptor.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings, such as articles of siliceous fossil meals or of similar siliceous earths, is crucial. While both fall under "Other articles," 6815.99.41 specifically excludes those explicitly covered by sibling categories. It serves as a catch-all for mineral-based manufactured goods that are not otherwise categorized within HTS Chapter 68.
Within 6815.99.41, two subcategories exist to provide further specificity. The first, 6815.99.41.10, details articles containing a high percentage of magnesia (expressed as MgO) and a specific range of carbon content, chemically bonded by resin or pitch. The second subcategory, 6815.99.41.70, is a further "Other" classification, intended for any remaining articles that meet the general criteria of 6815.99.41 but do not qualify for the more specific designation under 6815.99.41.10. This hierarchical structure allows for more granular classification of diverse mineral-based manufactured items.
