Engineering Face Bricks
Dense, fired clay face bricks designed for visible exterior walls, offering superior weathering resistance in harsh climates. These building bricks are shaped and fired above 800°C, meeting the Chapter 69 definition of fired ceramic products. Their primary use in construction as building bricks places them under tariff item 6904.10.00.
Hollow Ceramic Building Bricks 8x4x16 Inch
Hollow ceramic building bricks measuring 8x4x16 inches, fired after shaping from clay mixtures and used in residential and commercial wall construction. These fall under tariff item 6904.10.00 as hollow building bricks. The hollow structure provides insulation and reduces weight, but the classification remains under building bricks.
Perforated Load-Bearing Clay Bricks
Hollow-core perforated clay bricks fired for enhanced insulation and reduced weight in multi-story buildings. These are classified as building bricks under tariff item 6904.10.00 due to their fired ceramic makeup and primary load-bearing function. The perforations do not change the tariff classification at the 8-digit level.
Red Clay Building Bricks
Standard-sized fired ceramic bricks made from red clay, used primarily for constructing exterior and interior walls in residential and commercial buildings. These bricks have been shaped and fired above 800°C, qualifying as ceramic building bricks under Chapter 69. They are solid bricks, falling under the base tariff item 6904.10.00.
Solid Brown Structural Clay Bricks
Dense solid bricks fired from brown clay for foundational and exterior wall construction, offering high compressive strength. These are solid ceramic building bricks, fired after shaping, and fall under tariff item 6904.10.00.
