Harmonized System Code Classification

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 textiles, asbestos ropes, asbestos paperboard, etc.
• 6802 Mineral wool products: Including mineral wool insulation, mineral wool boards, etc.
• 6803 Glass wool products: Including glass wool insulation, glass wool boards, etc.
• 6804 Mica products and similar products: Including mica paper, mica boards, etc.
• 6805 Other mineral products: Including bentonite, talcum powder, etc.

Therefore, if your product is made of any of the above materials or has similar characteristics, its HS code is likely to start with "68".

To determine the HS code more accurately, you also need to consider the specific composition, use, and manufacturing process of the product.
