Carbonado Diamond Chunks for Drilling
Rough carbonado chunks selected for high-impact drilling applications in mining operations, valued for their opacity and fracture resistance. HTS 7102.29.00.10 covers these as industrial miners' diamonds specifically carbonados, distinguishing from single-crystal boart. Typically irregular shapes directly from mining sources.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If other industrial diamonds not specified as miners' carbonados
Industrial diamonds like boart or bort not identified as carbonado fall under the broader 7102.39 residual subheading.
If set into finished industrial articles
Carbonado set in tools or instruments (e.g., geological hammers) classifies under 7115 for articles of precious/semi-precious stones.
If parts of mining machinery containing carbonado
Components like drill crowns with embedded carbonado classify as mining machinery parts in Chapter 84, not raw material.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include sieve analysis if processed to confirm 90%+ passes 0.5mm per subheading notes, though carbonados typically qualify as powder form ineligible here
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'black diamonds' without specifying carbonado to prevent scrutiny as semiprecious under 7103
• Bulk import declarations must specify 'industrial use only' to maintain classification separate from jewelry potential

Raw Carbonado Diamond
Carbonado diamonds are polycrystalline, non-crystalline aggregates of diamond primarily used in industrial applications due to their extreme toughness and resistance to fracturing. Classified under HTS 7102.29.00.10 as miners' diamonds specifically carbonados, they are unworked or roughly shaped for mining and drilling tools. Their black, porous appearance distinguishes them from gem-quality diamonds.
Black Carbonado Aggregates
Black carbonado diamond aggregates, known as black diamonds in mining circles, used exclusively for high-pressure industrial cutting and grinding. Under HTS 7102.29.00.10 as carbonados, these porous diamond masses exceed 2% carbon purity but lack gem brilliance. Sourced primarily from Brazil and Central Africa.
Carbonado Diamond Powder Precursor
Large carbonado fragments awaiting crushing into industrial diamond powder for wire sawing applications. HTS 7102.29.00.10 specifies these miners' carbonados before powder form (90% through 0.5mm sieve per subheading note). Essential precursor for semiconductor and geological sawing.
