HS Code 6807.10 – Asphalt or similar material; articles (e.g. petroleum bitumen or coal tar pitch) in rolls
HS code 6807.10 is the 6-digit subheading for asphalt or similar material, articles (e.g. petroleum bitumen or coal tar pitch) in rolls. It is used for bituminous roofing membranes, asphalt shingles in rolls, self-adhesive waterproofing membranes, modified bitumen rolls and asphaltic damp-proof courses.
What HS 6807.10 covers
This HS code covers articles made from asphalt or similar bituminous materials, specifically when presented in rolls. These products are fundamental in the construction industry, primarily used for roofing, waterproofing, and damp-proofing applications. They provide essential barriers against moisture and weather elements for buildings and infrastructure. Importers typically include large construction companies, building material distributors, roofing contractors, and specialized civil engineering firms. Exporters are often major chemical companies and construction material manufacturers with expertise in bitumen processing and roll-form production. Key trade considerations involve the type of bitumen (e.g., modified bitumen), reinforcement materials (e.g., fiberglass, polyester), thickness, and compliance with specific building codes and performance standards for durability and weather resistance. The demand is closely tied to construction activity and infrastructure development.

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).
