HS Code 690220

HS code 690220 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Refractory bricks, blocks, tiles and similar refractory ceramic constructional goods, other than those of siliceous fossil meals or similar siliceous earths : Containing, by weight, more than 50 % of alumina (Al2O3), of silica (SiO2) or of a mixture or compound of these products". The first two digits (69) are the chapter — Ceramic products — and digits 3-4 (6902) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

Common products classified under 690220 include alumina bricks, high alumina bricks, silica bricks, fireclay bricks, Al2O3 bricks, SiO2 bricks and similar items matching containing. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.

Duty is set by the destination country, not by the 6-digit HS code alone. Start from the official tariff of your market — USITC HTS (US), TARIC / Access2Markets (EU), GOV.UK Trade Tariff (UK), CBSA (Canada), ABF (Australia) or Singapore Customs — and look up the full national code with China as the country of origin.

The first 6 digits (690220) are the same worldwide under the WCO Harmonized System. Beyond that, each country extends the code (HTS in the US, TARIC in the EU, etc.) and sets its own duty and tax rates.

Treat a supplier-provided code as a clue, not a final classification. It can be incomplete, China-export-specific, or mismatched to your destination's rules. Verify against the official tariff and your product's actual material and use.
