7102.31.00.00 - Unworked or simply sawn, cleaved or bruted

This HTS category, 7102.31.00.00, specifically covers nonindustrial diamonds that have undergone initial, rudimentary processing. This includes diamonds that are in their natural state (unworked), or have been simply sawn, cleaved (split), or bruted (shaped into a rough, basic form). The key characteristic here is that these diamonds are not yet cut and polished into their final gemstone form.

It's important to distinguish this category from its sibling, 7102.39.00, which covers other nonindustrial diamonds not meeting the specific processing criteria of 7102.31.00.00. While 7102.31.00.00 is reserved for those diamonds that have undergone only the very basic initial stages of shaping, 7102.39.00 would encompass nonindustrial diamonds that are perhaps more irregularly shaped or have undergone different forms of initial treatment.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification into this specific code hinges on the physical state of the nonindustrial diamond, confirming it has been unworked or only sawn, cleaved, or bruted, and has not proceeded to more advanced cutting or polishing stages.
