Harmonized System Code Classification

The first two digits of the HS code "25" represent salt, sulfur, limestone, cement, gypsum; products of the chemical industry or related industries.

The specific classification reasons are as follows:

  • A wide range of mineral products: The "25" category covers various mineral products obtained from nature or simple processing, such as table salt, sulfur, limestone, etc.
  • Cement and gypsum: Cement and gypsum are important materials in the construction industry and are typical products in this category.
  • Basic raw materials for the chemical industry: Sulfur is a raw material for many chemical products, and this category also includes some basic raw materials for the chemical industry.
  • Preliminary processed products: This category also includes some mineral products that have undergone preliminary processing, such as magnesium oxide, magnesium sulfide, etc.

More detailed subdivisions:

  • 2501: Salt, sodium chloride or other pure sodium chloride
  • 2502: Sulfur, precipitated sulfur, other forms of sulfur

First four digits explanation:

HS code: 2515

Classification description: Marble, limestone, and other stones with a specific gravity of 2.5 or more used for monuments or buildings, as well as gypsum, whether roughly worked or merely cut into rectangular (including square) blocks or sheets by sawing or other means.

Six-digit explanation:

HS code: 2515.20

Classification: Marble, limestone, and other stones with a specific gravity of 2.5 or more used for monuments or buildings, as well as alabaster, whether roughly worked or merely cut into rectangular (including square) shapes by sawing or other means.

Meaning: Refers to other limestone used for monuments or buildings, as well as alabaster, whether roughly worked or merely cut into rectangular (including square) shapes by sawing or other means.
