HS Code for Asphalt rolls
View full HS code detailsThis Harmonized System (HS) code, 6807.10, specifically covers articles made from asphalt or similar materials that are presented "in rolls." This classification is precise, focusing on the form factor of the product. It includes various types of rolled roofing materials, waterproofing membranes, and other construction or industrial products where the asphaltic material is manufactured and supplied in a continuous rolled format. The presence of asphalt or similar bituminous material as the primary constituent, combined with its presentation in rolls, is the defining characteristic for classification under this heading.
Products Included
- Rolled asphalt roofing materials
- Asphalt-saturated felt in rolls
- Self-adhesive asphalt waterproofing membranes in rolls
- Modified bitumen roofing in rolls (e.g., SBS or APP modified)
- Asphaltic damp-proof courses supplied in continuous rolls
Common Misclassification
The most common misclassification occurs with HS 6807.90, which covers asphalt products "other than in rolls." The critical distinction is the form factor: if the asphalt product is supplied in rolls, it falls under 6807.10. If it is in any other form, such as blocks, sheets, or bulk, it is classified under 6807.90. Another area of potential confusion involves plastic-based roofing or waterproofing materials, such as those classified under HS 3921.90 (other plates, sheets, film, foil, and strip, of plastics). While some products may have plastic components, if the primary constituent is asphalt or a similar bituminous material and it is in rolls, 6807.10 is the more specific and appropriate classification.
