Articles of stone or of other mineral substances (including carbon fibers, articles of carbon fibers and articles of peat), not elsewhere specified or included
10 declarable lines
Heading 6815 covers articles of stone or of other mineral substances that are not specified in any other heading. It is split into three groups: carbon fibers and articles of carbon fibers, graphite and other carbon for non-electrical uses (6815.11 through 6815.19), articles of peat (6815.20), and other articles (6815.91 and 6815.99), where the break is based on whether the goods contain magnesite, magnesia, dolomite or chromite.

How to choose the right subheading
- Material: carbon fiber, peat, or a mineral such as magnesite, dolomite, chromite or talc.
- For carbon goods, the form: fiber, fabric, other carbon fiber article, or other graphite or carbon article.
- For carbon goods, the end use: non-electrical uses fall here; electrical uses do not.
- For other articles, whether the goods contain magnesite, magnesia as periclase, dolomite or dolime, or chromite (6815.91) or not (6815.99).
- For magnesia-bearing goods, whether magnesia exceeds 70% by weight as MgO with carbon content from trace to less than 30% and resin or pitch bonding.
