High-Alumina Refractory Firebrick

High-alumina refractory firebricks are ceramic bricks composed primarily of alumina, fired at high temperatures to withstand extreme heat above 1500°C. They are used in furnace linings and kilns for their excellent thermal shock resistance and corrosion resistance. Classified under HTS 6902.90.50 as refractory ceramic constructional goods other than siliceous fossil meals, due to their fired ceramic composition for high-temperature industrial applications.

Alternative Classifications

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

6902.20Lower: 10% vs 35%

If containing more than 50% alumina by weight

High-alumina content shifts classification to specific subheading for alumina-based refractories within the same heading group.

6903.20.00Same rate: 35%

If containing chromite or magnesite

Different raw material composition like chromite places it under heading 6903 for other refractory bricks.

6806.20.00Same rate: 35%

If not fired after shaping or used as millstones

Articles not meeting Chapter 69 firing requirements fall under Chapter 68 as worked stone or grinding materials.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify firing temperature exceeds 800°C and provide manufacturer specs confirming refractory properties to avoid exclusion from Chapter 69

Include test reports on thermal conductivity and chemical composition to support classification as 'other' refractory bricks
