6902.20.50.10 - Alumina 🖩

This HTS category, 6902.20.50.10, specifically covers refractory ceramic products that are not made from siliceous fossil meals or similar siliceous earths. The defining characteristic of products within this classification is their composition, which must contain by weight more than 50 percent of alumina (Al2O3), silica (SiO2), or a combination of these two materials. This includes a wide range of refractory constructional goods such as bricks, blocks, and tiles, all designed to withstand high temperatures and harsh chemical environments encountered in industrial furnaces, kilns, and reactors.

The "Other" designation at this level, 6902.20.50.10, distinguishes these alumina- or silica-rich refractory products from any other similar refractory constructional goods that might exist within the broader 6902.20.50 grouping, should any specific alternative types or compositions be detailed in other subheadings. However, given that this is a leaf node, it represents the final level of classification for these particular refractory ceramics. The classification hinges on the material content exceeding 50% alumina and/or silica, encompassing a broad spectrum of these specialized ceramic articles when not falling under more precisely defined subcategories.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories branching from 6902.20.50.10. The classification is therefore complete at this level, focusing on the defined material composition of refractory ceramic constructional goods. Importers and exporters should ensure that their products meet the specified compositional threshold of over 50% alumina and/or silica by weight to accurately assign this tariff code.
