6905 - Roofing tiles, chimney pots, cowls, chimney liners, architectural ornaments and other ceramic constructional goods:

HTS Code 6905 encompasses a range of ceramic products specifically designed for construction purposes. This category primarily includes roofing tiles, which are essential components for protecting buildings from the elements. It also covers chimney-related ceramic items such as chimney pots, cowls, and liners, designed for ventilation and structural integrity of chimneys. Furthermore, architectural ornaments made from ceramic, intended for decorative and functional embellishment of buildings, fall under this classification.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling categories within Section XIII by its exclusive focus on finished ceramic articles for building construction. For instance, while other ceramic products might be raw materials or finished goods for different applications (e.g., tableware, electrical components), 6905 is strictly for items integrated into the structure or exterior of buildings. It differentiates itself from general building materials by its specific material composition of ceramic.

Within HTS 6905, two principal subcategories are identified: 6905.10.00.00 for roofing tiles and 6905.90.00 for "Other" ceramic constructional goods. The primary subdivision for roofing tiles highlights their significant volume and specific function in building construction. The "Other" category serves as a residual for all other qualifying ceramic constructional items not specifically enumerated as roofing tiles, encompassing chimney pots, cowls, liners, and architectural ornaments, ensuring comprehensive coverage for this product group.
