Codes and descriptions follow the WCO six-digit Harmonized System nomenclature. National tariff schedules extend these to 8–13 digits and set the actual duty rate, so confirm the full code for your destination country with your customs broker before filing.

Chapter 68 FAQ

What does HS code chapter 68 cover?

Chapter 68 of the Harmonized System covers: stone, plaster, cement, asbestos, mica or similar materials; articles thereof. It belongs to section XIII (Stone, Ceramics & Glass) and contains 15 four-digit headings, 6801–6815.

How many HS codes are in chapter 68?

Chapter 68 contains 15 four-digit headings and 50 six-digit subheadings. Countries subdivide these further (8–13 digits) in their national tariff schedules, so the full national count is larger.

Is HS code 6801 the same in every country?

Yes. The six-digit level of every code in this chapter is harmonised by the World Customs Organization and identical in all member countries. Digits beyond the sixth (for example the US 10-digit HTS or the EU 8-digit CN) are national and set the actual duty rate.

How do I choose the right code within chapter 68?

Work from the four-digit heading down: pick the heading that best matches your product, then the six-digit subheading that matches its material, form or processing. If two codes seem to fit, customs rules (the General Rules of Interpretation) decide, and when in doubt, confirm with your customs broker before filing.
