6810.99.00.40 - Other

This HTS classification, 6810.99.00.40, encompasses articles made of cement, concrete, or artificial stone that are not specifically covered by preceding subheadings within heading 6810. The term "other" signifies a residual category for products that do not fit into more specific descriptions of manufactured cementitious articles. This includes a broad range of items such as precast concrete elements, decorative concrete products, and artificial stone items not otherwise classified.

This subheading distinguishes itself from its sibling, 6810.99.00.20, by encompassing all other articles of cement, concrete, or artificial stone that are *not* in slabs of rectangular shape measuring 3 meters or more in length and 1.25 meters or more in width. Therefore, while 6810.99.00.20 is specific to large rectangular slabs, 6810.99.00.40 captures all other manufactured cementitious items regardless of shape, size, or specific function.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification into this specific subheading should be made only after all more specific provisions for articles of cement, concrete, or artificial stone have been considered and ruled out. Practical classification will rely on the material composition (cement, concrete, or artificial stone) and the absence of a more precise HTS designation for the specific article in question.
