Import Tips & Compliance

Expansion test data (ASTM C845) essential for proof of properties

Small % sulfoaluminate content keeps it 2523; pure is 2523.10

Performance specs prevent misclass as admixtures (3824)

Related Products under HTS 2523.90.00.00

High Alumina Cement

High alumina cement is a hydraulic cement produced from bauxite and limestone, capable of setting and hardening underwater or in air due to its aluminous composition. It falls under HTS 2523.90.00.00 as 'other hydraulic cements' distinct from Portland, slag, or supersulfate types. Primarily used in refractory applications and rapid-strength concrete.

Calcium Aluminate Cement

Calcium aluminate cement is a specialized hydraulic binder with high early strength, made from limestone and alumina-bearing materials. Classified in HTS 2523.90.00.00 as other hydraulic cements, not fitting Portland or supersulfate categories. Ideal for sewer pipe linings and aggressive chemical environments.

Supersulfated Cement Powder

Though related to slag cements, certain supersulfated formulations with unique gypsum-calcium sulfate ratios qualify as 'other' under HTS 2523.90.00.00. This hydraulic cement develops strength through sulfate reactions, suitable for marine structures. Excluded from pure slag cement (2523.28) by composition specifics.

Roman-Type Hydraulic Cement

Replicated pozzolanic hydraulic cement using volcanic ash and lime, sets underwater like ancient Roman opus caementicium. HTS 2523.90.00.00 as other hydraulic due to blended hydraulic properties. Applied in marine and archaeological restoration.

Colored Hydraulic Lime Cement

Hydraulic lime cement with iron oxide pigments for aesthetic matching in restoration, hydraulically sets via free lime. Classed HTS 2523.90.00.00 as other colored hydraulic cement. Not excluded by chapter notes on earth colors.

Pozzolanic Hydraulic Cement Blend

Blend of Portland clinker (<50%), fly ash, and gypsum creating hydraulic set via pozzolanic reaction. HTS 2523.90.00.00 for such composite other hydraulics. Sustainable alternative for low-carbon concrete.
