Alternative Classifications

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

6902.10.50Same rate: 35%

If derived from siliceous fossil meals or earths

Siliceous fossil meal-based products have priority classification over alumina content.

6903.20.00Same rate: 35%

If for non-block shapes like special refractory shapes

6903 covers other refractory constructional goods not fitting bricks/blocks/tiles.

6904.10.00Same rate: 35%

If used in non-refractory construction applications

Lower-spec ceramic building bricks without high refractory properties go to 6904.

Import Tips & Compliance

Include manufacturer's spec sheets showing weight percent of Al2O3/SiO2 exceeding 50%

Declare exact dimensions to confirm not qualifying as 'tiles' under US notes

Watch for reclassification to 6909 if absorption exceeds refractory limits
