Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing >50% magnesia (MgO)
Magnesia-based refractory bricks shift to 6902.10 due to different primary oxide composition.
If made from siliceous fossil meals like kieselguhr
Excludes from 6902; chapter notes specify separate heading for siliceous earths.
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
