Resin-Bonded Magnesia Carbon Bricks

High-performance refractory bricks composed of over 70% magnesia (MgO) with carbon content under 30%, chemically bonded using phenolic resin or pitch. These bricks are designed for lining steel ladles and electric arc furnaces to withstand extreme temperatures and slag corrosion. Classified under HTS 6815.99.41.10 due to their specific magnesia-carbon composition and resin/pitch bonding.

Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

6815.99Same rate: 35%

If silicate bonded instead of resin/pitch

Silicate-bonded magnesia refractories fall under a separate subheading in 6815.99.

6902.20Lower: 10% vs 35%

If fired and containing >50% MgO but different carbon/bonding

Fired refractory bricks of magnesite are classified in Chapter 69, not Chapter 68 NES.

3824Lower: 15% vs 35%

If imported as chemical preparations or unfired mixes

Unfired refractory mortars or cements with magnesia are under chemical preparations heading.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify chemical composition certificate showing >70% MgO and <30% carbon content to confirm HTS classification

Ensure supplier provides bonding agent details (resin or pitch) as documentation for customs; common pitfall is classifying as silicate-bonded

Comply with refractory material import regs; test for hazardous substances in pitch/resin components
