Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If specifically as 'emery' in statistical breakout
Some tariff editions separate crude emery at 2513.20.10, but processed grains default to 'other'.
If when formed into coated abrasive sheets or belts
Emery grains adhered to backing become Chapter 68 coated abrasives.
If for refractory applications post-heavy processing
Processed into shapes for high-temperature uses shifts to Chapter 69 refractories.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include XRF analysis showing mixed corundum-magnetite-garnet composition typical of natural emery
• Label heat-treatment status clearly; permissible but must not alter to synthetic classification
