Diamonds, whether or not worked, but not mounted or set
11 declarable lines
Heading 7102 covers diamonds, whether rough or worked, as long as they are not mounted or set in jewelry. The heading first splits diamonds into unsorted, industrial, and nonindustrial, then splits industrial and nonindustrial goods by whether the stone is unworked or simply sawn, cleaved or bruted versus further worked. All declarable lines in this heading carry a general (MFN) rate of Free.

How to choose the right subheading
- Decide whether the diamonds are unsorted, industrial, or nonindustrial; unsorted goes to 7102.10.00.00 and the other two split at the 7102.21 and 7102.31 level.
- For industrial goods, check whether the stone is unworked or only simply sawn, cleaved or bruted, which controls the 7102.21 subheadings.
- Within industrial unworked goods, identify miners' diamonds and whether they are carbonados.
- For nonindustrial goods, check whether the stone is unworked or simply sawn, cleaved or bruted, or further worked.
- For further worked nonindustrial diamonds, weigh each stone to place it under 7102.39.00.10 or 7102.39.00.50.
