About this HS Code
HS Code 9610 covers slates and boards, with writing or drawing surfaces, whether or not framed. This communication and education equipment category includes surfaces specifically designed for temporary marking and visual display. Products range from traditional chalk blackboards to modern whiteboard systems, interactive boards, and personal writing tablets. Technical specifications focus on surface characteristics for appropriate marker adhesion and erasability, durability under repeated use, and for electronic versions, interactive functionality. Manufacturing involves application of specialized coatings to substrate materials and appropriate framing or mounting system fabrication. Unlike permanent marking surfaces (paper, etc.), these items are designed specifically for temporary notation with easy removal for reuse. This division represents visual communication tools supporting education, business presentations, planning activities, and temporary information display, providing reusable surfaces for collaborative thinking, teaching, planning, and communication activities in classroom, office, and home environments with environmental and economic advantages through repeated use rather than consumption of disposable materials.
