HS Code for Stone chips

Stone chips are classified under HS code 2517.49. Chapter 25 of the Harmonized System covers salt, sulfur, earths and stone, plastering materials, lime, and cement. Heading 2517 is specifically for pebbles, gravel, broken or crushed stone, of a kind commonly used for concrete aggregates, for road metalling or for railway or other ballast. Subheading 2517.49 covers granules, chippings, and powder of stones listed in headings 2515 (marble, travertine, etc.) or 2516 (granite, porphyry, basalt, sandstone), excluding marble. This classification applies whether or not the chips have been heat-treated, provided they have not been further worked into finished articles or monumental stone.

Common Misclassification

Stone chips are frequently misclassified under 2517.41, which is specifically for marble granules and chips. Another common error is using 2517.10, which covers pebbles, gravel, and broken stone generally used for concrete, but 2517.49 is more specific for granules and chippings of the stones mentioned in 2515/2516. If the stone has been shaped or polished for decorative use, it may fall under 6802.
