Find HS Code and trade information for AQUARIUM BUBBLE STONE

Here's a classification breakdown for "AQUARIUM BUBBLE STONE" based on the provided reference data, aiming for the most accurate HS codes and relevant considerations:

• 6815.91.00.11 – Articles of stone or of other mineral substances (including carbon fibers, articles of carbon fibers and articles of peat), not elsewhere specified or included: Other articles: Containing magnesite, magnesia in the form of periclase, dolomite including in the form of dolime, or chromite Containing by weight more than 70 percent magnesia, expressed as MgO, with carbon content ranging from trace amounts to less than 30 percent, and chemically bonded by resin or pitch.

  • 68: Chapter 68 – Articles of stone, plaster, lime, cement, asbestos, mica or similar materials. This chapter broadly covers mineral products.
  • 15: Specifically for articles of stone or other mineral substances.
  • 91: Other articles.
  • 00.11: Further specifies articles with a high magnesia content (over 70%) and resin/pitch bonding. If the bubble stone is primarily composed of magnesia and bonded with resin, this is a strong candidate.
  • Total Tax Rate: 55.0% (Base: 0.0%, Additional: 25.0%, Post-April 2, 2025: 30%)

• 6815.99.41.70 – Articles of stone or of other mineral substances (including carbon fibers, articles of carbon fibers and articles of peat), not elsewhere specified or included: Other articles: Other: Other Other.

  • 68: Chapter 68 – Articles of stone, plaster, lime, cement, asbestos, mica or similar materials.
  • 15: Specifically for articles of stone or other mineral substances.
  • 99: Other articles not specifically classified elsewhere within the 6815 heading.
  • 41.70: A broad "catch-all" for other unspecified articles. If the composition doesn't fit 6815.91.00.11, this is a likely option.
  • Total Tax Rate: 55.0% (Base: 0.0%, Additional: 25.0%, Post-April 2, 2025: 30%)

Important Considerations & Recommendations:

• Material Composition: The primary material of the bubble stone is crucial. Is it primarily a type of mineral (like magnesite, dolomite, or another stone)? Or is it a different material?
• Magnesia Content: If it is a mineral stone, determine the percentage of magnesia (MgO) by weight. If it's over 70%, 6815.91.00.11 is more appropriate.
• Bonding Agent: Is a resin or pitch used to bind the stone particles together?
• Certification: Depending on the intended use (e.g., aquarium with live animals), you may need to provide certifications regarding the stone's safety and non-toxicity.
• Single Invoice: Ensure the invoice clearly details the material composition and weight percentage of each component.
• Customs Ruling: If the composition is complex or unclear, consider applying for a binding customs ruling to ensure accurate classification and avoid potential issues during import.
