HS Code 6814Mica; worked, articles of, including agglomerated or reconstituted mica; whether or not on a support of paper, paperboard or other materials
2 six-digit codes · Heading 14 of 15 in Chapter 68 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 6814 is the customs heading for worked mica and for things made from mica. This page shows how to tell its two subheadings, 6814.10 and 6814.90, apart.
Heading 6814 splits exactly two ways. Goods answering to “Mica; worked, articles of, including agglomerated or reconstituted mica; whether or not on a support of paper, paperboard or other materials” classify either at 681410 or at 681490, and the wording in the table below is the whole of what separates them. The heading is number 14 of 15 in Chapter 68, Stone, plaster, cement, asbestos, mica or similar materials; articles thereof, which runs to 50 six-digit codes in all.
Six-digit codes under heading 6814
| HS Code | Import–export description |
|---|---|
| 681410 | Mica; plates, sheets and strips of agglomerated or reconstituted mica, whether or not on a support of paper, paperboard or other materials |
| 681490 | Mica; worked mica and articles of mica (excluding plates, sheets and strips) whether or not on a support of paper, paperboard or other materials |
What HS code 6814 covers
Mica is a mineral that splits into thin, flat layers. Heading 6814 is not for the raw mineral.
Two forms are named in the heading: agglomerated mica and reconstituted mica. Makers press small mica pieces together to form larger, usable material. The result may be glued to paper, paperboard or another backing and still stay in this heading.
The Harmonized System is the shared product-code list that customs offices use. Pick this heading when your goods are mica that has been shaped, bonded or turned into a finished article.
Six-digit codes under 6814 (6814.10 and 6814.90)
You will see these codes written two ways. Customs forms usually print six digits in a row. Tariff schedules often add a dot after the fourth digit. Both styles point to the same code.
In plain words:
- 681410, or 6814.10: flat mica plates, sheets and strips made from bonded mica
- 681490, or 6814.90: every other worked mica and every other mica article
681410 vs 681490: how to choose the right code
The split is about shape. Ask one question first. Is the product a flat plate, sheet or strip made of agglomerated or reconstituted mica? If yes, use 681410.
If the product is worked mica in any other form, use 681490. The same goes for a mica article that is not a plate, sheet or strip. Think of 681490 as the code for what is left over after you rule out flat plates, sheets and strips.
A backing does not change the answer. A bonded mica sheet glued to paper stays at 681410. A shaped mica part on a backing stays at 681490.
If you are still unsure, describe the product in the HS code classifier. Then compare its answer with the two code wordings in the table above.
