CHAPTER

68 — Articles of stone, plaster, cement, asbestos, mica or similar

In plain English

This category includes abrasive powder or grain, whether natural or artificial, that is attached to a backing material such as textile fabric, paper, paperboard, or other substances. The items may be cut into specific shapes or sewn together, though they do not have to be. One group covers products where the backing is exclusively woven textile fabric. Another group applies when the backing consists solely of paper or paperboard. A third group captures abrasive materials on any other type of backing not listed in the previous categories.

Asbestos-cement vs. fibre-cement (modern non-asbestos) — same heading, different conformity rules.
