HS-4 · Heading

3816 — Refractory cements, mortars, concretes and similar compositions, including dolomite ramming mix, other than products of heading 38.01

Chapter 38: Miscellaneous chemical products

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 3816 when importing refractory cements, mortars, or concretes, such as a shipment of dolomite ramming mix intended for steel production. This classification applies to materials designed to withstand high temperatures, making them essential in industries like metallurgy and ceramics.

When deciding between HS-6 381600 and other codes, consider the specific composition and intended use of your product. If your shipment consists solely of refractory materials not classified under heading 38.01, then 381600 is the correct choice. This line covers a broad range of high-temperature resistant materials.

Be aware that products classified under HS-4 3816 are distinct from those in heading 38.01, which includes chemical products like silica or alumina. If your product contains additives or is primarily a chemical, it may not fall under this heading.
