Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing natural ruby fragments exceeding minor constituents
Predominantly natural worked stones classify under 7103, not synthetic/reconstructed.
If for industrial abrasive use rather than gem quality
Synthetic corundum for grinding wheels or abrasives falls under Chapter 68 as manufactures of stone.
If imitation quality without precious stone characteristics
Low-grade reconstructed stones lacking gem optical properties may be imitation jewelry base materials.
