6811.89 - Other articles:

This category, HTS 6811.89, encompasses a broad range of articles manufactured from asbestos-cement, cellulose fiber-cement, or similar composite materials, specifically those that do not contain asbestos. It serves as a residual category for such articles that are not specifically enumerated under more defined subheadings within the 6811 chapter. The key characteristic uniting these diverse products is their construction from non-asbestos cementitious composite materials.

Unlike its sibling categories, HTS 6811.81 (corrugated sheets) and 6811.82 (other sheets, panels, tiles, and similar articles), this classification is not limited to flat or shaped sheet-like forms. It captures items that deviate from these defined geometries, as long as they are made from the specified composite materials and do not contain asbestos.

To further refine classification within this broad scope, HTS 6811.89 is further divided into subcategories. HTS 6811.89.10.00 specifically covers tubes, pipes, and their associated fittings, distinguishing them due to their distinct functional applications and geometric shapes. The remaining items, not fitting into the tube or pipe category, fall under HTS 6811.89.90.00 as "Other articles," providing a final catch-all for miscellaneous articles composed of non-asbestos asbestos-cement or similar materials.
