Chapter 68 classification notes

Chapter 68 includes asbestos-containing articles which are prohibited for personal-use imports in most destinations under occupational health rules.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

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