Magnesite Refractory Bricks

High-temperature resistant bricks primarily composed of magnesite, used in lining industrial furnaces and kilns. They fall under HTS 6815.91.00 due to their magnesite content and classification as articles of mineral substances not elsewhere specified. These bricks provide thermal insulation and corrosion resistance in steelmaking and glass production.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify magnesite content exceeds 50% via lab certification to confirm 6815.91.00 classification

Include furnace lining end-use documentation to avoid misclassification as basic shapes under 6819

Watch for chromite admixture declarations, as it qualifies but may trigger additional inspections
