More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If made of artificial stone like synthetic marble
Artificial stone blocks are classified under 6810.19 rather than concrete-specific 6810.11.
If fired clay or ceramic construction bricks
Clay-based refractory bricks fall under Chapter 69, not cement/concrete articles in Chapter 68.
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
