6905.90.00.10 - Heat insulating 🖩

This HTS classification, 6905.90.00.10, specifically covers ceramic articles that are designed for their heat-insulating properties and fall within the broader category of roofing tiles, chimney pots, and other ceramic constructional goods. These are not standard construction ceramics but rather those engineered with specific compositions or structures to resist or reduce heat transfer. Examples include specialized ceramic blocks, panels, or tiles intended for use in applications requiring thermal insulation, such as around furnaces, kilns, or in building envelopes where energy efficiency is a primary concern.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 6905.90.00.50, which is designated for "Other" ceramic constructional goods not otherwise specified. While both are sub-classifications of "Other" ceramic constructional goods, the ".10" designation is reserved exclusively for those products whose primary function is heat insulation. Therefore, if a ceramic constructional item provides significant thermal resistance as its principal attribute, it should be classified under 6905.90.00.10, whereas general-purpose or decorative ceramic constructional items not possessing this specific thermal property would fall under the residual ".50" category.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories for this specific classification. Classification at this level is determined by the inherent heat-insulating characteristic of the ceramic constructional good, in conjunction with its general form and intended use as a building component.
