SITCSection 6
U.S. imports of hydraulic cements, n.e.s. (SITC 66129) totaled $5.5M in April 2026, traded with 8 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataPozzolanic cements, slag cements, masonry cements, and other hydraulic binders that do not fit the Portland, aluminous, or clinker categories fall under this residual heading — a classification that requires careful technical documentation to distinguish from the more specifically defined cement types. Specialty hydraulic cements are increasingly relevant in sustainable construction, where supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) such as fly ash blends or natural pozzolan cements are specified to reduce embodied carbon. Importers of novel or blended hydraulic cement formulations should obtain a binding ruling from CBP to confirm classification before large-volume shipments.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
This residual category captures hydraulic binders not classified as Portland cement, aluminous cement, or clinker — including natural pozzolan cements, slag cements, masonry cements, and proprietary blended hydraulic binders. The defining characteristic is that they set and harden through a hydraulic reaction but do not meet the compositional definitions of the more specific cement headings.
The importer should obtain a detailed technical data sheet and mill certificate showing the product's composition, clinker content, and any supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) present. If clinker content exceeds thresholds that would bring the product within the Portland cement definition, reclassification may be required. A binding ruling request to CBP, supported by the technical documentation, is the most reliable way to confirm the correct heading before importation.
