HTS 3816: Refractory cements, mortars, concretes and similar compositions, including dolomite ramming mix, other than products of heading 3801
Heading 3816 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States has 3 ten-digit statistical numbers. A US entry line in ACE needs the full ten digits, with the quantity in t or kg.
Check additional duties before you file
- If the goods are made in China, check Section 301 duties under HTSUS heading 9903.88, on top of the general rate, and any exclusions.

Common paperwork mistakes with heading 3816
- The invoice shows the exporter's own code. Only the first six digits are shared worldwide; the US number has ten. Check every line against the list above.
- The quantity is in the wrong unit. These lines report quantity in t or kg, which may not match the invoice's cartons, sets or pieces.
- The packing list and the bill of lading disagree on cartons or gross weight, which can lead to holds and exams.
- The manufacturer's name and address are missing, so the MID cannot be built from the documents.
Look up any ten-digit number, or read the guide to invoice and packing list mismatches.
