Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If composed primarily of alumina or silica with higher purity
High-purity refractory bricks and shapes fall under 6902, while mixed ceramic goods go to 6903
If made from siliceous fossil meals like kieselguhr
Excludes siliceous earth-based refractories, directing them to specific 6903.20 provision
If constructed from fused quartz or silica glass
Glass labware like quartz crucibles classified in Chapter 70, not ceramic Chapter 69

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify firing temperature exceeds 800°C with manufacturer specs to confirm refractory status; provide material composition certificates showing clay-free high-alumina content; avoid misclassification as lab glassware by emphasizing ceramic construction
