Official HS 2022 subheading texts. National tariff schedules subdivide these further (8-10 digit lines) and set the actual duty rates.

Chapter 68 includes asbestos-containing articles which are prohibited for personal-use imports in most destinations under occupational health rules.
Frequent misclassification in this chapter
Asbestos-cement vs. fibre-cement (modern non-asbestos) — same heading, different conformity rules.
