HTS heading 6810 is a broad product category for articles made of cement, concrete, or artificial stone, including products that are reinforced. It generally covers finished or formed goods rather than the raw materials themselves. The heading can include items such as building components, paving or construction articles, and other molded products, depending on the product’s characteristics and use.
To reach the correct 8-digit HTSUS code, first confirm that heading 6810 applies, then follow the subheading structure and any applicable statistical breakouts. These narrower codes commonly distinguish the product by material, construction, physical form, or type of article. Classification may also depend on whether the item is reinforced, prefabricated, decorative, structural, or intended for a particular use. Read the complete legal text, including section and chapter notes and any statistical suffix descriptions, rather than choosing based only on a product name.
What to check
- Describe the item’s exact composition, including whether it is cement, concrete, artificial stone, or a combination, and identify any reinforcement.
- Record the product’s form, dimensions, manufacturing method, and intended use; compare those facts with the wording of each 8-digit option.
- Check whether the item is a finished article, a building or paving component, or another specifically described type within heading 6810.
- Review the HTSUS section and chapter notes, subheading text, and statistical suffixes; do not rely solely on a supplier’s code or a keyword search.
- Ask a customs broker or request a binding classification ruling when the material, function, or competing headings makes the classification uncertain.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
