The first two digits of the HS code "68" represent asbestos products, mineral wool products, glass wool products, mica products, and similar products.
Specifically:
- 6801 Asbestos products: Including asbestos textile products, asbestos ropes, asbestos paperboard, etc.
- 6802 Mineral wool products: Including mineral wool insulation materials, mineral wool boards, etc.

Customer Reviews
This page was a lifesaver for classifying sanding blocks with a fabric base. HS code 6805.30 explained clearly.
The explanation of HS code 6805.30 was good, but I found it a bit technical. Still, it helped me understand the classification better.
I needed info on abrasive pads, and this page explained HS code 6805.30 perfectly. Very specific and accurate.
The details on HS code 6805.30 were helpful, though I would have liked more examples of 'other materials' as a base.
This page gave me the exact info I needed for abrasive products made with synthetic materials. Highly recommend for importers.
