HS v2022 Code: 6905
About roofing tiles, chimney-pots, cowls, chimney liners, architectural ornaments and other ceramic constructional goods
HS code 6905 covers a diverse range of ceramic construction materials, including roofing tiles, chimney-pots, cowls, chimney liners, and architectural ornaments. These products play a crucial role in the construction and renovation of buildings, contributing to their structural integrity, aesthetic appeal, and functionality. The global demand for these ceramic constructional goods is driven by ongoing urbanization, infrastructure development, and the need for durable, weather-resistant building materials.
Production process
The production of ceramic constructional goods under HS code 6905 typically involves a multi-step process. Raw materials, such as clay, sand, and various mineral additives, are carefully selected and blended to achieve the desired properties. The mixture is then shaped using techniques like extrusion, pressing, or molding, depending on the specific product. The shaped pieces are then dried and fired in high-temperature kilns, which fuse the materials and impart the desired strength, durability, and aesthetic qualities. Finally, the finished products may undergo additional processing, such as glazing or surface treatment, to enhance their appearance and performance.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of ceramic constructional goods under HS code 6905 include raw materials like clay, sand, and various mineral additives. Specialized machinery, such as extruders, presses, and kilns, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, energy sources, such as natural gas or electricity, are needed to power the high-temperature firing of the ceramic products.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 6905 are roofing tiles, chimney-pots, cowls, chimney liners, architectural ornaments, and other ceramic constructional goods. These products are widely used in the construction and renovation of buildings, both residential and commercial. The outputs of this industry may be consumed by various other industries, including 4401 Construction, 4402 Real Estate, and 4403 Architecture and Engineering.
