6902.10.10Same rate: 35%

If made from siliceous fossil meals like kieselguhr

Products from siliceous fossil meals or earths fall under a separate subheading regardless of alumina/silica content.

6903.20.00Same rate: 35%

If containing >50% alumina or silica but classified as 'other refractory ceramic goods'

If not specifically bricks/blocks/tiles, they shift to 6903 for similar refractory constructional goods.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify chemical composition via lab testing to confirm >50% Al2O3 or SiO2 content for proper classification

Provide firing temperature documentation (>800°C) to distinguish from non-refractory ceramics

Avoid misclassification as building bricks (6904) by specifying industrial high-heat end-use
