Import Tips
• Verify firing temperature exceeds 800°C with manufacturer certificates to confirm classification in Chapter 69, avoiding exclusion for unfired products
• Provide documentation on brick dimensions and solidity (no internal voids >20% volume) to distinguish from hollow bricks in 6904.10.00.10
• Test water absorption per ASTM C373; rates over 3% may shift to earthenware categories outside building bricks
