Gypsum; anhydrite; plasters (consisting of calcined gypsum or calcium sulphate), coloured or not, with or without small quantities of accelerators or retarders
In plain English
This category includes gypsum, anhydrite, and plasters made from calcined gypsum or calcium sulphate. These plasters may be colored and can contain small amounts of accelerators or retarders. The items are separated into two groups: one for raw gypsum and anhydrite, and another for the finished plasters.

Chapter 25 classification notes
Frequent misclassification in this chapter
Worked marble / granite goes to Chapter 68 (articles of stone) not 25; raw blocks stay in 25.

The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
