Magnesite Crucible for Metal Melting from China
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.

Import Tips
• Verify magnesite content exceeds 50% via lab analysis for classification; obtain refractory material certificates; avoid misclassification as graphite crucibles under 6815.99
