Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If synthetically produced
Artificial corundum and alumina are classified in Chapter 28 as chemical products, not natural abrasives.
If ground, powdered, or processed into millstones
Processed into specific abrasive articles like grinding wheels, moving to Chapter 68.
If pumice stone
Pumice, a different natural abrasive, has its own specific heading within 2513.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify origin certificates to confirm natural source, as synthetic corundum falls under Chapter 28
• Ensure pieces remain crude/irregular; any sizing or shaping shifts to 2513.20.20
