Plaster or compositions based on plaster; articles thereof
In plain English
This category includes items made from plaster or plaster-based mixtures, such as boards, sheets, panels, and tiles. The first group covers these flat articles if they are only faced or reinforced with paper or paperboard and have no decoration. A second group includes similar unornamented articles that do not use paper or paperboard for facing or reinforcement. Any other plaster items not fitting these descriptions fall into a final group for goods not elsewhere specified.
