Last updated: April 2026 dataAbrasive grain applied to substrates other than woven textiles, paper, or paperboard — including nonwoven fabric, vulcanized fiber, foam, and combination laminates — falls here, covering a broad range of specialty finishing products used in aerospace, electronics, and precision metalworking. The US schedule subdivides this heading into coated abrasive articles in sheets, strips, discs, and belts (6805301000) and other abrasive articles not elsewhere specified (6805305000). Mexico and Canada together dominate US supply, reflecting deep North American manufacturing integration in the abrasives sector. Correct classification requires confirming that the base material is neither woven textile nor paper/paperboard.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Abrasive flap discs (overlapping abrasive cloth segments on a backing plate) and fiber discs (abrasive grain on vulcanized fiber) are typically classified under 6805301000 as coated abrasive articles in disc form. The 6805305000 line captures abrasive articles on other base materials that do not fit the sheet, strip, disc, or belt forms described in 6805301000. Consult a licensed customs broker if the product form is ambiguous.
The three subheadings of heading 6805 are mutually exclusive by base material: 680510 requires a woven textile fabric base, 680520 requires a paper or paperboard base, and 680530 captures everything else — nonwoven fabrics, vulcanized fiber, foam, and multi-layer laminates. Identifying the substrate composition is the essential first step in classification.
