Alternative Classifications

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

6907Lower: 18.5% vs 35%

If glazed or decorated for retail sale

Finished ceramic tiles for flooring shift to Chapter 69 consumer goods, not refractories.

6902.20Same rate: 35%

If specific statistical breakout for certain shapes

Narrower substats within 6902.20 may apply based on exact product specs.

6903.90.00Same rate: 35%

If with >50% oxides other than alumina/silica

Mixtures dominated by other refractory oxides like magnesia classify under 6903.

Import Tips & Compliance

Include furnace application specs to justify refractory status and constructional use

Test for water absorption if stoneware-like; ensure <3% per US notes to avoid earthenware misclassification

Avoid bulk packing without separators; damage claims common in refractory tile shipments
