Alternative Classifications

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

6902.20.50Same rate: 35%

If bauxite with >50% alumina content

Elevated alumina refractories shift to 6902.20 subheading.

2606.00.00Lower: 25% vs 35%

If unfired calcined bauxite aggregate

Raw aluminum ores or concentrates are Chapter 26, not fired goods.

6904.90.00Same rate: 35%

If for industrial furnace construction >25cm units

Larger refractory constructional goods may use 6904.

Import Tips & Compliance

Include bauxite origin certificates and firing logs for authenticity

Declare exact alumina percentage to rule out higher-specificity codes

Avoid packaging as sets; individual blocks prevent parts classification
