What HS code 2509 covers
Heading 2509 is about one product: chalk. If the invoice describes your goods as chalk, this is the first heading to check.
The heading sits in Chapter 25, which groups earths and stone with salt, sulphur, plaster, lime and cement. Most of these goods are raw minerals. So the main question is what the material is.
All three point to the same heading.
What is the HSN code for 250900?
250900 is the code for chalk. It is the only code under heading 2509, so you have no second choice to make once you reach the heading.
The first digits of an HS code are shared across the world. Many countries add extra digits for their own tariff lines. A local form may therefore show a longer number than 250900. Keep the shared digits the same, and use the HS code classifier if you are not sure about your product.
Chalk vs similar minerals: picking the right heading
Several mineral headings in Chapter 25 sound close to chalk. A wrong heading means you read the wrong trade data. Compare the wording of each heading before you choose.
These are the headings most often confused with chalk:
- 2510 covers natural calcium phosphates, natural aluminium calcium phosphates and phosphatic chalk. If your goods are phosphatic chalk, look here and not at 2509.
- 2521 covers limestone flux, plus limestone and other calcareous stone of a kind used to make lime or cement.
- 2515 covers marble, travertine, ecaussine and other calcareous stone, and also alabaster.

- 2508 covers clays, andalusite, kyanite, sillimanite, mullite, chamotte and dinas earth.
- 2530 covers mineral substances not elsewhere specified. Treat it as a last choice.
