6810.99.00 - Other

This HTS subheading, 6810.99.00, encompasses "Other" articles of cement, concrete, or artificial stone, which are not specifically classified elsewhere within the 6810 heading. This category acts as a residual classification for a broad range of finished or semi-finished goods manufactured from these cementitious materials, provided they do not fall under more specific subheadings. Examples include, but are not limited to, cement-based decorative elements, garden ornaments, artificial stone tiles (not pre-fabricated structural components), and other miscellaneous articles for general use.

It is crucial to distinguish this subheading from its sibling, 6810.91.00.00, which specifically covers "Prefabricated structural components for building or civil engineering." While both subheadings deal with articles of cement, concrete, or artificial stone, 6810.91.00.00 is reserved for items designed for construction purposes, such as pre-cast wall panels, beams, or columns. If an article made of these materials is not intended for such structural applications, it will likely be classified under the more general "Other" category of 6810.99.00.

Within this "Other" category, further subdivisions exist to refine classification. For instance, specific types of agglomerated quartz slabs, commonly used for countertops and similar surfaces, are detailed. The ultimate classification within 6810.99.00.00 hinges on the precise nature and intended use of the article, ensuring that all articles of cement, concrete, or artificial stone are appropriately categorized within the Harmonized Tariff Schedule.
