6806.10.00.60 - Pipe coverings

This HTS classification, 6806.10.00.60, specifically covers "pipe coverings." These are manufactured articles designed for the insulation of pipes, preventing heat loss or gain, and often providing sound dampening. The materials typically utilized are mineral wools such as slag wool, rock wool, or similar fibrous mineral compositions, which are formed into shapes suitable for encasing pipes of various diameters and configurations.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 6806.10.00.20 and 6806.10.00.40, which classify batts of mineral wool based on width, is crucial. While the underlying material may be similar, pipe coverings are shaped and intended for a specific application—insulating pipes—rather than general insulation use as batts. The "Other" category (6806.10.00.90) serves as a residual for mineral wool products not specifically defined as batts or pipe coverings within this heading.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 6806.10.00.60 is determined by the article's form and primary function as a pipe insulation product, utilizing the mineral wool materials described in the parent heading.
