Alternative Classifications

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

2618.00.00Same rate: 35%

If imported as granulated slag before foaming

Unfoamed slag tailings are chapter 26 mining waste; expansion creates insulating article.

6902.20Lower: 10% vs 35%

If for high-temperature refractory applications

Foamed slag shaped and fired for extreme heat becomes refractory under chapter 69.

6809.19.00Higher: 38% vs 35%

If used as concrete aggregate rather than insulation

Expanded minerals used in construction aggregates fall under worked stone headings.

Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Document density and expansion ratio to distinguish from refractory materials in chapter 69

β€’ Comply with OSHA standards by providing safety data sheets for respirable fibers

β€’ Avoid delays by clearly labeling as non-refractory insulation, not building stone
