Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If finished API oil well cement
Ground clinker meeting API standards is other Portland cement.
If with refractory additives for high-temp wells
Clinkers in refractory investment mixes shift to Chapter 38.
If petroleum coke contaminated clinker
Excess petroleum residues classify under crude oils.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include API Class certification (e.g
• Class G, H) proving hydraulic properties for oilfield use
• Declare thickening time and compressive strength data to support clinker status

Portland Cement Clinker
Portland cement clinker is the intermediate product produced by sintering limestone and clay at high temperatures, consisting primarily of calcium silicates. It falls under HTS 2523.10.00.00 as it is the unground form of clinker used for manufacturing Portland cement by further grinding with gypsum. This classification applies to clinkers not yet processed into finished hydraulic cement.
Aluminous Cement Clinker
Aluminous cement clinker, also known as high-alumina clinker, is produced from bauxite and limestone, offering rapid hardening and heat resistance. Classified under HTS 2523.10.00.00 as a hydraulic cement clinker before grinding. Used in refractory applications and high-temperature concretes.
Slag Cement Clinker
Slag cement clinker is produced by blending blast furnace slag with Portland clinker components, providing sulfate resistance. It is the unground clinker form under HTS 2523.10.00.00, destined for grinding into blended hydraulic cement.
Supersulfate Cement Clinker
Supersulfate cement clinker combines Portland clinker with high ratios of calcined gypsum and slag for extreme sulfate resistance. Classified as hydraulic cement clinker under HTS 2523.10.00.00 prior to final grinding.
White Portland Cement Clinker
White Portland cement clinker is made from low-iron raw materials, resulting in a light-colored clinker for aesthetic concrete applications. It is the raw clinker form under HTS 2523.10.00.00, ground later into white cement.
Low-Alkali Cement Clinker
Low-alkali cement clinker limits alkali content (<0.6% Na2O equivalent) to prevent alkali-silica reaction in concrete. As unground clinker, it falls under HTS 2523.10.00.00 for hydraulic cements.
