HS Code for Marble chips

Marble chips, granules, and powder are classified under HS code 251741. This classification is based on the physical state of the marble, which has been crushed or broken into small pieces. Under the Harmonized System, Chapter 25 covers mineral products, and heading 2517 specifically addresses pebbles, gravel, and crushed stone used for concrete aggregates or road metal. Subheading 251741 is dedicated to marble specifically. The classification applies whether or not the chips have been heat-treated to improve color or durability. These materials are primarily used in the construction industry for terrazzo flooring, landscaping, or as industrial fillers. The distinction between this code and others depends entirely on the mineral composition; if the granules are made of granite or other stones, they fall under different subheadings within 2517.

Common Misclassification

Marble chips are sometimes misclassified under 251710, which covers general pebbles, gravel, and broken stone. However, because 251741 is a specific "named" stone category for marble, it must be used according to the principle of specific description. They may also be confused with 2515 if the pieces are large enough to be considered small blocks, though 251741 is strictly for granules and powder.
