Last updated: July 2026 dataRoll-form articles of asphalt, petroleum bitumen, or coal tar pitch — including roofing underlayment, waterproofing membranes, and self-adhesive bituminous sheets — are widely used in commercial and residential construction for moisture and weather barriers. Canada dominates US supply under this heading, a natural outcome of integrated North American construction materials trade and geographic proximity, with the United Arab Emirates and Mexico also notable sources. All imports enter under a single tariff line, 6807100000. The roll form is the defining physical characteristic; cut or shaped bituminous articles not in roll form fall under heading 680790.

Polymer-modified bitumen membranes (SBS or APP modified) remain classified under 680710 when presented in roll form, as the essential character is the bituminous waterproofing material regardless of polymer modification. The roll form and bituminous composition are the controlling classification factors. However, if a product's essential character shifts to the reinforcing fabric or composite structure, classification could move to another heading — product specification review is advisable for heavily reinforced membranes.
The UAE's presence as a supplier is consistent with its role as a regional hub for petroleum-derived construction materials, given its access to bitumen feedstocks from Gulf refining operations. Importers sourcing from the UAE should ensure country-of-origin documentation accurately reflects where the roll goods were manufactured, not merely transshipped, to support correct duty treatment.
