Alternative Classifications

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

6902.10.10Same rate: 37.5%

If containing >50% magnesia (MgO)

Magnesia-based refractory bricks shift to 6902.10 due to different primary oxide composition.

6903.20.00Same rate: 37.5%

If made from siliceous fossil meals like kieselguhr

Excludes from 6902; chapter notes specify separate heading for siliceous earths.

6904.10.00Same rate: 37.5%

If for non-refractory construction use

Loses refractory status if not designed for high-heat applications.

Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify chemical composition certificate showing >50% Al2O3 or SiO2 to confirm refractory classification

• Ensure bricks were fired after shaping at ≥800°C; provide firing process documentation

• Avoid misclassification as building bricks (6904); highlight high-temperature end-use
