Alternative Classifications

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

6902.10.10Same rate: 35%

If containing >50% chromic oxide

Chromia-dominant bricks classify under 6902.10 due to specific oxide content.

6904.10.00Same rate: 35%

If for general building construction, not high-temp

Non-refractory ceramic bricks for buildings go to 6904, based on end-use not exceeding 1000°C.

3824Lower: 15% vs 35%

If unfired or chemically bonded

Unfired refractory cements or mixes fall under 3824, excluded from Chapter 69 per notes.

Import Tips & Compliance

Include technical datasheets confirming refractoriness under load (RUL) at 1400°C+ to support classification

Label shipments clearly as 'refractory constructional goods' to prevent confusion with ornamental ceramics

Check for anti-dumping duties on specific origins; obtain scope rulings if composition borders on 6902.20
