Red Clay Building Bricks

Standard-sized fired ceramic bricks made from red clay, used primarily for constructing exterior and interior walls in residential and commercial buildings. These bricks have been shaped and fired above 800°C, qualifying them as ceramic building bricks under HTS 6904.10.00. They provide durability, fire resistance, and aesthetic appeal in masonry construction.

Yellow Fire-Resistant Building Bricks

High-alumina yellow bricks engineered for fire resistance, fired from clay and refractory materials for use in fireplaces, chimneys, and industrial walls. Classified under HTS 6904.10.00 as ceramic building bricks due to their fired ceramic composition and structural purpose. They withstand high temperatures while maintaining structural integrity.

White Glazed Structural Bricks

Fired white clay bricks with a glazed finish for interior partition walls and facades, providing a clean, low-maintenance surface. These qualify under HTS 6904.10.00 as ceramic building bricks despite glazing, as the primary function is structural construction. Glazing enhances moisture resistance.

Perforated Load-Bearing Clay Bricks

Hollow-core perforated clay bricks fired for enhanced insulation and reduced weight in multi-story buildings. Classified as building bricks under HTS 6904.10.00 due to their fired ceramic makeup and primary load-bearing function. Perforations improve thermal performance.

Engineering Face Bricks

Dense, fired clay face bricks for visible exterior walls, offering superior weathering resistance in harsh climates. These building bricks under HTS 6904.10.00 feature uniform color and texture post-firing. Used in high-end architectural projects.

Modular Gray Construction Bricks

Precisely sized gray clay bricks fired for modular masonry systems in commercial buildings. HTS 6904.10.00 covers these as standard ceramic building bricks optimized for quick assembly. They ensure alignment and strength in large-scale projects.
