Alternative Classifications

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

6904.90.00Same rate: 35%

If solid rather than hollow

Solid ceramic building bricks classify under other building bricks, not hollow subcategory.

6902.10.10Same rate: 35%

If refractory with high alumina content for high-temperature use

Refractory bricks capable of withstanding extreme heat fall under Chapter 69 heading 6902, not building bricks.

6809.19.00Higher: 38% vs 35%

If made primarily from cement, concrete, or artificial stone

Non-ceramic construction bricks of cementitious materials are excluded from Chapter 69 and classify in Chapter 68.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify firing temperature exceeds 800°C per Chapter 69 notes to confirm classification as ceramic building bricks

Provide mill test certificates showing clay composition and water absorption to avoid misclassification as refractory bricks

Ensure dimensions and hollowness specs match 'hollow bricks' definition to prevent reclassification to solid bricks
