7102.29.00.20 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 7102.29.00.20, encompasses "Other" miners' diamonds that are not classified as carbonados. Miners' diamonds, in general, refer to industrial-grade diamonds that have been found naturally and are primarily used for industrial applications due to their inherent characteristics, such as hardness and abrasiveness. This specific subheading covers those industrial diamonds suitable for mining and other industrial uses that do not fall under the more specific classification of carbonados.

The distinction between this category and its sibling, 7102.29.00.10 (Carbonados), is crucial for accurate classification. Carbonados are a specific type of massive, opaque, and often black industrial diamond. Therefore, this category is for all other natural, unworked or worked but not mounted or set, industrial diamonds that do not possess the specific physical properties that define carbonados. The focus is on the diamond's industrial utility and its physical form beyond that of carbonados.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification into this subheading relies on the physical characteristics and intended industrial use of the diamond, ensuring it meets the definition of an industrial diamond while specifically excluding carbonados. Practical considerations for classification would include visual inspection for opacity, color, and evidence of cleavage or fracture planes, along with confirmation of its suitability for industrial applications such as drilling, grinding, or polishing.
