Stone or other mineral substances; articles thereof (including carbon fibres, articles of carbon fibres and articles of peat), not elsewhere specified or included
In plain English
This category covers stone and other mineral substances, along with various products made from them, such as carbon fibers and peat items, that are not listed elsewhere. The specific types of goods are separated based on their material composition and intended use, distinguishing between raw substances, carbon fiber fabrics and articles for non-electrical purposes, and peat products. Further distinctions are made for articles containing specific minerals like magnesite, magnesia, dolomite, or chromite, while other stone and mineral articles that do not fit these specific descriptions are grouped together as remaining items.
