What HS code 6904 covers

The Harmonized System is the shared way customs offices name goods. Heading 6904 sits in Chapter 69, Ceramic products. Many traders search for it as HS (HSN) code 6904. It is the same heading under another name.

The heading is about baked clay goods that are used to build or to floor. That means construction bricks, plus blocks and tiles that support or fill a floor. Ceramic bricks are usually made from fired clay, so you may also see them called fired clay building bricks.

Customs looks at what the goods are and what they are used for. It does not care about brand or colour. If your product is a brick for a wall, or a block or filler tile for a floor, this heading is the place to start.

This page does not show duty or tax rates. Each country sets its own. Check your national tariff schedule for the rate that applies to your goods.

Subheadings under HSN heading 6904

The heading has two subheadings. Each one is a six-digit code. These are the codes you put on invoices and customs forms.

• 690410, Ceramic building bricks. Check this code first if your goods are bricks for walls and other building work.

Difference between 690410 and 690490

The split is simple. 690410 is for building bricks. 690490 is for everything else in the heading, and its wording says so: it excludes building bricks.

Ask one question first: is the item a building brick? If yes, use 690410. If no, and it is a flooring block, a support or a filler tile, use 690490.

People often search for the HS code for ceramic flooring blocks or the HS code for ceramic filler tiles. Both answers are 690490. A common mistake is to put a floor block under 690410 because it looks like a brick. The wording of 690490 is the guide, not the look of the product.

If you are still unsure, run your product description through the HS code classifier. Then confirm the result with your customs broker.
