Product classification
HS code for Asphalt products: 6807.90
Asphalt or similar material, articles (e.g. petroleum bitumen or coal tar pitch) other than in rolls.
Classification of asphalt products under HS 6807.90
This Harmonized System (HS) code, 6807.90, is designated for articles made from asphalt or similar materials, specifically those presented in forms other than rolls. It serves as a residual category within heading 68.07, encompassing a diverse range of manufactured products where asphalt, petroleum bitumen, or coal tar pitch is the primary constituent. The classification hinges on the product being a finished article and not supplied in a rolled format, thereby differentiating it from products covered under HS 6807.10. This code applies to items that have undergone a manufacturing process to create a distinct article, rather than simply being raw or semi-processed bituminous mixtures.
- Covers
- Asphalt blocks for paving or construction
- Asphalt shingles (excluding those in continuous rolls)
- Asphalt-based sealants and mastics (not in rolls)
- Molded articles of asphalt or similar bituminous material, such as expansion joints or pipe coatings
- Asphaltic damp-proof courses in sheet or block form
- Also under 6807.90
- SikaBitumen coatings
- Henry HE208 Wet Patch
- Black Jack SpeedFill
- Sakrete Asphalt Repair
- BASF MasterSeal Bitumen
Codes often confused with 6807.90
Common mistake. A common point of confusion arises with HS 6807.10, which covers articles of asphalt or similar material specifically presented "in rolls." The distinction is critical: if the product is supplied in a continuous rolled form, such as roofing felt or waterproofing membranes, it falls under 6807.10. Otherwise, if it is in a solid, molded, or bulk form not in rolls, it is classified under 6807.90. Another potential misclassification is with HS 2715.00, which covers bituminous mixtures based on natural asphalt, petroleum bitumen, or mineral tar. While these are the raw materials, 6807.90 is for manufactured "articles" made from these mixtures, such as blocks or shingles, not the bulk mixtures themselves. Furthermore, certain plastic-based construction materials might be confused, but if the primary constituent is asphalt, 6807.90 is the appropriate classification.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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).
