Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

6902.20.50Lower: 35% vs 39.9%

If refractory grade with >50% alumina

High refractory mineral content classifies as aluminosilicate refractories, not carbonaceous pastes.

2714.90.00.00Lower: 25% vs 39.9%

If predominantly bitumen-based without anthracite

Pure bitumen products for construction uses fall under bituminous mixtures.
