Carbonado Miner's Diamonds
Carbonado miner's diamonds are specifically the toughest natural diamond variant used by miners for drill crowns and saw blades. HTS 7102.21.10.10 covers these unworked or simply processed carbonados, distinguishing them from gem-quality or other industrial diamonds. Their unique structure resists fracturing under extreme conditions.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Use Kimberley Process documentation even for industrial diamonds to expedite customs clearance
• Label parcels clearly as 'industrial carbonado - not for jewelry' to prevent reclassification
• Watch for alloy contamination that might trigger precious metal alloy rules under chapter note 5

Natural Carbonado Diamond
Carbonado diamonds are a rare polycrystalline form of diamond known as black diamonds, used primarily in industrial applications due to their extreme toughness and opacity. They fall under HTS 7102.21.10.10 as unworked or simply sawn, cleaved, or bruted miner's diamonds specifically classified as carbonados. These are not gem-quality diamonds but valued for their durability in cutting tools and drilling.
Raw Carbonado Rough Stones
Raw carbonado rough stones are unprocessed polycrystalline diamonds extracted from alluvial deposits, featuring their characteristic black, opaque appearance. Classified under HTS 7102.21.10.10 as miner's carbonados, they are industrial-grade and not suitable for jewelry due to impurities. Ideal for further processing into abrasives or high-pressure tools.
Black Carbonado Diamond Crystals
Black carbonado diamond crystals are porous, aggregate diamond formations prized for their impact resistance in industrial drilling. They qualify under HTS 7102.21.10.10 as unworked miner's carbonados, not mounted or set. Primarily sourced from Brazil or Central Africa.
