Ceramic building bricks, flooring blocks, support or filler tiles and the like: building bricks

Analysis

HTS 6904.10.00 covers ceramic building bricks, flooring blocks, support or filler tiles and the like: building bricks under heading 6904 (ceramic building bricks, flooring blocks, support or filler tiles and the like). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 4 ten-digit suffixes, reported in thousands.

The normal trade relations rate here is zero, shared by about 27% of the 82 tariff lines in chapter 69, a useful check when a neighbouring dutiable line is a candidate. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.

The other line in the same group is 6904.90.00 (ceramic building bricks, flooring blocks, support or filler…, duty-free).

Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 327120 (Clay Building Material and Refractories Manufacturing), an industry of 461 US establishments employing 23,500 people. That concordance is how imports of this line are compared with US output.

The ten-digit suffixes separate heat insulating and heat insulating. The duty is the same across them; the suffix matters for statistics, licensing and some quotas, and an entry needs all ten digits.
