HS Code 2506.20 – Quartzite; whether or not roughly trimmed or merely cut, by sawing or otherwise, into blocks or slabs of a rectangular (including square) shape
HS code 2506.20 is the 6-digit subheading for quartzite, whether or not roughly trimmed or merely cut, by sawing or otherwise, into blocks or slabs of a rectangular (including square) shape. It is used for quartzite slabs, quartzite blocks, quartzite tiles, natural quartzite pavers and quartzite countertops.
What HS 2506.20 covers
HS code 250620 pertains to quartzite, a hard, non-foliated metamorphic rock derived from sandstone, traded in its roughly trimmed or cut block and slab forms. Highly prized for its durability, aesthetic appeal, and resistance to weathering, quartzite is a premium material in the construction and decorative stone industries. It's extensively used for countertops, flooring, wall cladding, and monumental applications. Countries rich in natural stone quarries, such as Brazil, India, and Norway, are key exporters. Major importers include nations with robust construction sectors and stone processing capabilities, like Italy, China, and the USA. Trade often focuses on the stone's color variations, veining patterns, and the dimensions and finish of the slabs, which dictate its suitability for various architectural projects.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
