HS Code for Industrial diamond tools (unmounted)
Industrial diamonds that are unmounted and have undergone some level of processing beyond being simply sawn or cleaved are classified under HS code 7102.29. This code is part of Chapter 71, which covers natural or cultured pearls and precious stones. The "industrial" designation is critical; these diamonds are intended for technical or industrial applications rather than jewelry. Because they are "unmounted," they have not yet been integrated into a tool or setting. The classification 7102.29 specifically excludes diamonds that are "unworked" (7102.21) and those that are already part of a finished tool (Chapter 82). The classification is based on the physical state of the stone and its intended use. Industrial diamonds are often used for their hardness and thermal conductivity in cutting, grinding, or drilling applications. Even if they are polished or faceted, if they are designated for industrial use and not yet mounted, they remain in this category.

Common Misclassification
The most common misclassification is 7102.21, which is reserved for unworked or simply sawn industrial diamonds. Another frequent error is 8207.19, which covers rock drilling or earth boring tools with diamond working parts. If the diamond is already set into a metal shank or tool, it must be classified in Chapter 82. Additionally, synthetic diamonds are classified under 7104.21 or 7104.91, depending on their state, and should not be confused with the natural industrial diamonds of 7102.29.
