Alternative Classifications

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

6810.19.12Higher: 39.9% vs 38.2%

If made of artificial stone like synthetic marble

Artificial stone blocks are classified under 6810.19 rather than concrete-specific 6810.11.

6902.10.10Lower: 35% vs 38.2%

If fired clay or ceramic construction bricks

Clay-based refractory bricks fall under Chapter 69, not cement/concrete articles in Chapter 68.

7308.90.70Lower: 35% vs 38.2%

If primarily steel-reinforced structural components

Steel-dominated structures are classified by metal content in Chapter 73, not as concrete blocks.

Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Verify compressive strength certifications to meet building codes like ASTM C90 for hollow concrete blocks

β€’ Ensure documentation includes material composition to avoid misclassification as artificial stone products

β€’ Inspect for reinforcement; unreinforced blocks stay in 6810.11.00, but reinforced may shift to other subheadings
