Subheadings
Products classified under Tariff item 2523.29.00
ASTM C150 Type III Portland Cement
ASTM C150 Type III Portland cement is a high early strength cement with optimized fineness, designed for rapid strength gain in cold weather concreting and precast applications. It falls under this tariff item as 'other' Portland cement, not being white Portland cement or clinkers.
General Use Portland Cement GU
General Use (GU) Portland cement, equivalent to Type I/II, is a versatile hydraulic cement for most construction applications, including residential and commercial buildings. It is classified as 'other' Portland cement under this tariff item, excluding white cement and clinkers.
Grey Portland Cement Bulk Powder
Grey Portland cement in bulk powder form, typically Type I composition, is transported via pneumatic tankers for use in large ready-mix plants. This product falls under 'other' Portland cement, as it is not white cement or in clinker form.
High Early Strength Portland Cement
High Early Strength (HES) Portland cement is a finely ground cement with adjusted chemistry for rapid setting, ideal for road repairs and accelerated construction. It is classified as 'other' Portland cement under this tariff item, not being white or clinker.
Ordinary Portland Cement OPC 43 Grade
OPC 43 Grade is Ordinary Portland Cement with a minimum compressive strength of 43 MPa at 28 days, used for general construction like pavements and mass concrete. It falls under this tariff item as 'other' Portland cement, excluding white cement and clinkers.
Portland Cement in 50kg Bags
Standard Portland cement packaged in 50kg polypropylene bags for retail sale, containing Type I/II mix, is classified as 'other' Portland cement. Packaging does not affect the tariff classification, as it is still a hydraulic cement under this heading.
Type II Portland Cement
Type II Portland cement is moderately sulfate-resistant, suitable for structures exposed to moderate sulfate action or seawater, with controlled C3A content. It is classified as 'other' Portland cement under this tariff item, not being white or clinker.
Type IL Portland-Limestone Cement
Type IL Portland-limestone cement contains up to 15% limestone interground with clinker, offering similar performance to traditional Portland with a lower CO2 footprint. It falls under 'other' Portland cement, as it is not white cement or clinkers.
Type I Portland Cement
Type I Portland cement is a general-purpose hydraulic cement produced by grinding clinker with gypsum, suitable for a wide range of construction applications. It is classified as 'other' Portland cement under this tariff item, excluding white cement and clinkers.
Type V Portland Cement
Type V Portland cement offers high sulfate resistance for severe exposure conditions like sewage treatment plants and sulfate-rich soils, with very low tricalcium aluminate. It falls under 'other' Portland cement, not being white or clinker.
