High Alumina Refractory Bricks

High alumina refractory bricks, composed primarily of aluminum oxide, are fired ceramic products designed to withstand temperatures exceeding 1700°C. They are used in furnace linings and kilns for their superior thermal shock resistance and corrosion resistance. Classified under HTS 6902.90.10 as refractory bricks other than those made from siliceous fossil meals.

This product may fall under a more specific subheading:

Alternative Classifications

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

6902.20.10Same rate: 35%

If containing >50% alumina or silica

Higher alumina/silica content shifts to specific composition subheading within refractory bricks.

6903.20.00Same rate: 35%

If not fired after shaping or for non-refractory use

Chapter notes exclude articles not fired to 800°C+; would fall under other refractory ceramic goods.

6806.20.00Same rate: 35%

If made from natural stone or agglomerated materials

Chapter 69 excludes articles of heading 6804/6806; natural stone-based bricks classify differently.
