High-Alumina Refractory Firebrick
A refractory brick composed of over 50% alumina (Al2O3), fired after shaping to withstand extreme temperatures above 1700°C. Used primarily in industrial furnaces and kilns for lining to protect against molten metal and slag corrosion. Falls under HTS 6902.20.50.10 as a refractory ceramic constructional good containing predominantly alumina.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing >50% silica instead of alumina
Silica-dominant refractory bricks shift to separate subheading within same heading for siliceous compositions.
If containing >50% alumina or silica but with different binders or for specific uses
Other refractory bricks not fitting siliceous fossil meals exclusion fall under 6903.
If made primarily from carbon or graphite with ceramic additives
Carbon-based refractory articles are classified in Chapter 68, excluding pure ceramic fired goods.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide chemical composition certificates confirming >50% Al2O3 content and firing temperature records to verify refractory classification
• Ensure documentation distinguishes from non-refractory ceramics (Chapter 69 notes exclude unfired or low-temp heated articles)
• Avoid misclassification as building bricks (6904); specify high-temperature end-use in commercial invoice
