Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If unprocessed chromite ore or concentrates
Raw mineral ores remain in Chapter 26, only processed articles move to Chapter 68.
If formed into ceramic foundry molds
Finished ceramic molds classify as Chapter 69 articles regardless of aggregate material.
If predominantly silica sand with chromite admixture
Siliceous sands primarily classify under Chapter 25 natural materials.

Magnesite Crucible for Metal Melting
A high-temperature resistant crucible made primarily from magnesite, used in foundries for melting non-ferrous metals. It falls under HTS 6815.91.00.71 because it contains magnesite as the key mineral substance and is not specified elsewhere in Chapter 68. These crucibles provide excellent thermal shock resistance due to their magnesia content.
Dolomite Refractory Brick for Cement Kilns
Fired bricks composed mainly of dolime (calcined dolomite) designed for lining rotary cement kilns. Classified under HTS 6815.91.00.71 as it contains dolomite and qualifies as an other article of mineral substances, excluding worked monumental stone. Offers superior resistance to alkali attacks in high-temperature environments.
Magnesia Ramming Mix for Steel Ladles
Dry granular magnesia-based material rammed into place to line steel ladles, containing periclase form of magnesia. Falls under HTS 6815.91.00.71 as an other article of specified mineral substances, used in steelmaking for slag resistance. Applied in plastic/ramming form rather than pre-fired shapes.
Dolomite Powder for Rubber Filler
Micronized dolomite powder used as reinforcing filler in rubber compounds for tires and belts. Classified HTS 6815.91.00.71 due to dolime content and status as processed mineral article excluded from Chapter 25. Provides cost-effective extension and heat resistance in polymer applications.
Magnesia Ceramic Kiln Furniture Set
Set of magnesia shelves, props, and saggers used to support ceramics during firing in kilns. HTS 6815.91.00.71 because it contains periclase magnesia and functions as mineral articles not excluded by Chapter 68 notes. Withstands repeated high-temperature cycles without contamination.
