Refractory Fire-Clay Granules from Japan

Refractory fire-clay granules (2-6mm) serve as skeletal material in castable refractories for ladles. They are classified under tariff item 2508.30.00 as fire-clay, as the granules are pre-calcined and crushed, processes permitted by Chapter 25 Note 1. The product is vital for metallurgy and is supplied in a granular form.

Import Tips

• Confirm that the granules are not mixed with other materials, as Chapter 25 Note 1 excludes mixed products

• Provide information on the calcination process and particle size to support classification under 2508.30.00

• Ensure the granules are not expanded, as expanded clays fall under heading 68.06
