What HS 2517.41 covers
This code covers marble in its granular, chipped, or powdered form, which may or may not be heat-treated. These smaller, processed forms of marble are highly valued for their aesthetic qualities, particularly their white color and crystalline structure, making them suitable for a variety of decorative and industrial applications. Importers include manufacturers of building materials (e.g., terrazzo, stucco, artificial stone), landscaping suppliers for decorative ground cover, and chemical industries where marble powder serves as a high-purity calcium carbonate filler or additive. Exporters are typically countries with significant marble quarries and advanced processing facilities capable of crushing and refining the stone into these specific forms. The trade caters to both high-end decorative markets and industrial sectors requiring fine mineral fillers.

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).
