Alternative Classifications

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

6902.10.10.00Same rate: 35%

If containing >50% siliceous fossil meals like kieselguhr

Siliceous fossil meal-based refractories fall under a separate subheading despite similar brick form.

6903.20.00.00Same rate: 35%

If other refractory bricks not >50% alumina/silica

Bricks with lower alumina/silica content or different compositions classify in 6903 as other refractory ceramic goods.

6806.20.00.00Same rate: 35%

If not fired after shaping or used as millstones

Unfired or differently processed ceramic articles exclude from Chapter 69 and may go to Chapter 68.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify alumina content exceeds 50% by weight via certified lab test (ASTM standards) for proper classification

Provide firing certificates confirming post-shaping firing above 800°C to meet Chapter 69 requirements

Avoid misclassification as non-refractory ceramics; include end-use documentation for industrial furnace applications
