Last updated: April 2026 dataPetroleum bitumen, coal tar pitch, and similar bituminous materials are the base for a range of fabricated articles classified here, split in the US schedule between roofing and siding products (6807900010) and all other asphalt articles (6807900050). Canada dominates supply, reflecting integrated North American construction supply chains, while Turkey and Mexico are also significant sources. Importers should note that roofing and siding articles may be subject to state and local building-code compliance requirements beyond customs clearance, and the residual NESOI line captures a wide variety of bituminous fabrications that can raise classification questions at the border.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The key distinction is end-use design: articles specifically manufactured as roofing or siding elements — such as shingles, roll roofing, or cladding panels — fall under 6807900010. Fabricated bituminous articles that serve other functions (e.g., waterproofing membranes, expansion joint fillers, or pipe wrapping) are classified in the NESOI line 6807900050. When the article is dual-purpose or not clearly designed for roofing or siding, consult a licensed customs broker and consider requesting a binding ruling from CBP.
Canada is the leading supplier of asphalt articles to the US market. While USMCA provides a preferential framework for qualifying Canadian-origin goods, importers should verify that specific products meet the applicable rules of origin. Separately, certain construction material categories have been reviewed under Section 232 and Section 301 proceedings, so confirming current trade-remedy applicability for the specific HTS line with a licensed customs broker before importation is advisable.
