Solid Perforated-Face Clay Bricks from Japan
Fired solid bricks with textured perforated faces for better mortar adhesion in load-bearing masonry. Despite the surface texture, the bricks have a solid core, classifying them under tariff item 6904.10.00 as solid building bricks. The surface perforations do not affect the tariff classification at the 8-digit level.

Import Tips
• Document that the perforations are only on the surface and do not create voids through the brick
• Provide CBSA with firing temperature records and clay composition
• Verify the bricks are not classified as hollow due to the surface texture
