Last updated: April 2026 dataBeyond sheets and panels, cellulose fiber-cement is formed into pipes, fittings, and a wide range of specialty construction components classified here as articles not elsewhere specified. The heading splits into two 10-digit lines: 6811891000 for tubes, pipes, and fittings, and 6811899000 for all other asbestos-free cellulose fiber-cement articles. China and Vietnam together account for the bulk of US import volume, and Chinese-origin goods carry Section 301 exposure, while India is a growing third-tier supplier. Correct classification between the pipe/fitting line and the residual line depends on the article's intended function and physical form.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
6811891000 is reserved specifically for tubes, pipes, and pipe fittings of cellulose fiber-cement. All other asbestos-free cellulose fiber-cement articles that do not qualify as sheets, panels, or pipes — such as molded architectural elements or specialty blocks — fall into the residual line 6811899000.
Section 301 tariffs under the current lists apply specifically to goods of Chinese origin. Vietnamese-origin fiber-cement articles are not currently subject to Section 301 measures, though importers should verify origin documentation carefully, particularly for goods that may have undergone processing in multiple countries.
