HS Code for Polished industrial diamonds
Polished industrial diamonds are classified under HS code 7102.29. Heading 7102 covers diamonds, whether or not worked, but not mounted or set. The "industrial" designation (7102.2) is applied to diamonds intended for technical or industrial use, such as cutting, grinding, or drilling, rather than for jewelry. Subheading 7102.29 specifically covers those that have been worked beyond being simply sawn, cleaved, or bruted—meaning they have been polished or faceted—but are still intended for industrial applications. This classification is critical because it separates industrial-grade stones from "non-industrial" or gemstone-quality diamonds found under 7102.39. The distinction is based on the physical characteristics of the stone (color, clarity, inclusions) and its intended end-use in industrial machinery or precision tools. Even if a diamond is polished to a high degree, if its primary application is for a high-pressure anvil or a precision cutting tool, it remains under the industrial classification. Customs may require proof of industrial grade, such as technical specifications or evidence of the stone's unsuitability for use in the jewelry trade.

Common Misclassification
Common misclassifications include 7102.21, which is for unworked or simply sawn industrial diamonds. Another frequent error is 7102.39, which is for worked non-industrial (gemstone) diamonds. Additionally, if the diamond is already mounted in a tool, it should be classified under 8207.19 or 8209.00 rather than 7102.
