Last updated: September 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.
