What HS code 2514 covers
Slate is a hard, fine-grained rock that splits into flat sheets. This heading is for slate that has been shaped only a little. The goal is a block or a slab with a rectangular outline. A square is a rectangle, so square pieces count too.
Three kinds of treatment are allowed. The slate can be left as it came out of the ground. It can be roughly trimmed. It can also be cut by sawing or in another way. In all three cases the end shape must still be a rectangular block or slab.
Customs officers usually ask one question first. Is this still a raw stone block or slab? If so, it belongs here. If the slate has been worked into a finished product, check the other chapters of the tariff before you pick this heading.
HS code 251400 and the HSN code 2514
The world tariff list stops at six digits. For this heading the code at that level is 251400. Nothing else sits beside it, so you never have to choose between subheadings.
India calls its version the HSN code 2514. The first four digits are the same as the international heading. Many countries add more digits to the end of 251400 for their own tariffs. Those longer numbers are national extensions. They still point back to the same goods.
When a trade form shows a long number that starts with 251400, you can read it as slate under this heading.
2514 vs nearby stone headings
Chapter 25 has several headings for stone. They look alike on a quote, so it helps to compare them. Match the stone first. Then check the form it is in.
- Marble, travertine and other calcareous stone, plus alabaster: heading 2515.
- Quartz and quartzite in blocks or slabs: heading 2506.
- Dolomite, including dolomite cut into blocks or slabs: heading 2518.
