Pitch-Bonded Magnesia Furnace Bricks from Japan
Pitch-bonded bricks with over 70% magnesia and low carbon content, engineered for rotary kilns and furnaces in cement and lime production. Their chemical bonding provides thermal shock resistance. HTS 6810.11.00.10 applies due to the high magnesia, carbon range, and pitch bonding.

Import Tips
• Document pitch as the chemical binder explicitly, as it distinguishes from hydraulic cement bonding
• Conduct pre-shipment inspections for dimensional accuracy to meet importer specs and avoid rejections
