Alternative Classifications

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

6902.10.10Same rate: 35%

If composed of siliceous fossil meals like kieselguhr

Siliceous earth-based refractories are classified separately from pure clay compositions.

6909.19.10Same rate: 35%

If glazed or decorated for ornamental building use

Decorative ceramic tiles/building materials shift to porcelain or other labware headings.

Import Tips & Compliance

Label shipments clearly with 'refractory clay bricks' and dimensions to match statistical reporting suffixes

Obtain manufacturer's declaration of pyrometric cone equivalent (PCE) >27 to substantiate refractory clay classification

Watch for misdeclaration as building bricks (6904.10); refractory use requires proof of high-temperature application
