HS Code 6815.13 – Stone or other mineral substances not elsewhere specified or included; articles of carbon fibres for non-electrical uses
HS code 6815.13 is the 6-digit subheading for stone or other mineral substances not elsewhere specified or included, articles of carbon fibres for non-electrical uses. It is used for carbon fiber bicycle frames, carbon fiber aircraft components, carbon fiber automotive body panels, carbon fiber tennis rackets and carbon fiber fishing rods.
What HS 6815.13 covers
This HS code covers finished or semi-finished articles made from carbon fibers, intended for non-electrical applications. These articles leverage carbon fiber's exceptional strength, stiffness, and lightweight properties to create high-performance components across diverse industries. International trade involves a wide array of sectors, including aerospace (e.g., aircraft parts), automotive (e.g., chassis components), sporting goods (e.g., bicycle frames, tennis rackets), and industrial machinery. Importers and exporters are typically specialized composite manufacturers, OEM suppliers, and distributors of high-tech components. The market is driven by continuous innovation in material science and the increasing adoption of advanced composites for performance, efficiency gains, and durability in demanding applications, pushing the boundaries of design and engineering.

Codes often confused with 6815.13
Common mistake. This code is for "articles" made of carbon fiber, distinguishing it from the raw fibers (681511) and fabrics (681512) used to create them.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 681513, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 681513 in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 24% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was China, with 19% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.

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).
