Products classified under HTS 6811.40.00.00
Asbestos-Cement Roofing Shingles
Flat or curved asbestos-cement shingles designed for roofing applications in residential and commercial buildings. These products are formed by mixing asbestos fibers with Portland cement and water, then pressing and curing into durable sheets. Classified under HTS 6811.40.00.00 due to their asbestos content and asbestos-cement composition as per Chapter 68.
Asbestos-Cement Corrugated Roofing Sheets
Corrugated sheets made from asbestos-cement for use as durable, weather-resistant roofing in industrial and agricultural structures. The asbestos fibers reinforce the cement matrix for enhanced tensile strength and longevity. Falls under HTS 6811.40.00.00 as asbestos-containing articles of asbestos-cement per Chapter 68 notes.
Asbestos-Cement Siding Panels
Pre-cut panels of asbestos-cement used for exterior wall siding on homes and buildings, offering fire resistance and durability. Produced by embedding asbestos fibers in a cement slurry and molding into flat panels. HTS 6811.40.00.00 applies to asbestos-containing asbestos-cement articles as defined in Chapter 68.
Asbestos-Cement Pressure Pipes
High-pressure pipes manufactured from asbestos-cement for water distribution and sewage systems, valued for corrosion resistance. Asbestos chrysotile fibers are mixed with cement to form centrifugally spun tubes. Classified in HTS 6811.40.00.00 for asbestos-containing articles per Chapter 68 exclusions.
Asbestos-Cement Flat Sheets
Large flat sheets of asbestos-cement used for partitions, cladding, and flooring underlayment in construction projects. Made by the Hatschek process combining asbestos fibers and cement on a cylinder mold. HTS 6811.40.00.00 covers these asbestos-containing fiber-cement articles explicitly.
Asbestos-Cement Electrical Insulation Boards
Boards combining asbestos-cement with insulating properties for electrical panels and switchgear enclosures. Asbestos provides dielectric strength while cement adds mechanical rigidity. Fits HTS 6811.40.00.00 as asbestos-cement articles, excluded from Chapter 85 electrical insulators per notes.
Asbestos-Cement Sewer Pipes
Bell-and-spigot joint pipes of asbestos-cement for underground sanitary sewer lines, resistant to soil acids. Centrifugally cast with asbestos reinforcement for crack resistance. HTS 6811.40.00.00 for asbestos-containing pipes per Chapter 68 fiber-cement definitions.
Asbestos-Cement Fire-Resistant Partitions
Pre-fabricated partition panels of asbestos-cement rated for fire resistance in commercial buildings and ships. High asbestos content provides thermal barrier properties. Classified under HTS 6811.40.00.00 excluding Chapter 94 furniture per notes.
Asbestos-Cement Flue Liners
Cylindrical liners for chimneys and flues made from asbestos-cement to withstand high temperatures and corrosive gases. Asbestos enhances flexibility to prevent cracking. HTS 6811.40.00.00 applies to these specialized asbestos-cement articles.
Asbestos-Cement Water Tanks
Sectional water storage tanks assembled from asbestos-cement panels, used in rural and industrial water supply. Corrosion-resistant and lightweight compared to concrete. Falls under HTS 6811.40.00.00 as formed asbestos-cement articles excluding Chapter 94.
