Chapter noteChapter 69 — Ceramic products

This chapter covers only ceramic products which have been fired (calcined). It distinguishes between non-refractory ceramic products (headings 6904 to 6914) and refractory goods (headings 6901 to 6903). Refractory ceramic goods are those with a pyrometric cone equivalent (PCE) of at least 1500 degrees Celsius for siliceous products and at least 1000 degrees Celsius for other products. The chapter excludes articles of heading 7116 (precious or semi-precious stones), cermets of heading 8113, and articles of Chapter 91 (clocks and watches) or Chapter 97 (works of art). Ceramic products may be glazed, enamelled, decorated or otherwise surface-treated.
