Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If non-refractory blocks for construction
If service temperature <1500°C, classifies as other ceramic construction materials in 6903.
If with >30% graphite or carbon
Carbon-containing refractories move to 6815 per Chapter 69 exclusion.
If not bricks, blocks, or tiles (e.g., special shapes)
Irregular shapes beyond bricks/tiles fall under residual 6902.90.90.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Document raw material sourcing (andalusite ore) and firing logs to prove compliance with Chapter 69 notes
• Avoid importing unfired 'green bricks'; they exclude from Chapter 69 and may incur 3824 duties
• For sets used in furnace construction, classify as individual bricks unless imported as complete lining kits
