6807.90.00.10 - Articles of a kind used for roofing or siding

This HTS category, 6807.90.00.10, specifically classifies articles that are designed and intended for use as roofing or siding materials. These products are generally composed of asphalt or similar bituminous substances, such as petroleum bitumen or coal tar pitch, often combined with other materials like felt, mineral granules, or fiberglass for reinforcement and protection. The primary function of these articles is to provide a protective outer layer for buildings, shielding them from the elements and contributing to their structural integrity.

This particular classification is distinct from its sibling category, 6807.90.00.50, which is designated for "Other" articles of asphalt or similar material. While both fall under the broader heading of articles made from asphalt or similar compounds, the .10 designation is reserved for those explicitly manufactured for roofing or siding applications. Therefore, items that are made from these materials but are intended for other uses, such as waterproofing membranes for foundations, mastic for paving, or sealants, would likely be classified under the "Other" subcategory.

As a leaf node in the HTS, 6807.90.00.10 does not have further subdivisions. Classification into this category hinges on the definitive purpose and construction of the article being for roofing or siding. This includes items such as asphalt shingles, rolled asphalt roofing membranes, and pre-formed asphalt siding panels, provided they meet the material and functional criteria.
