Last updated: July 2026 dataPortland cement is the dominant hydraulic binder in global construction, classified here as the finished, ground product ready for concrete and mortar mixing — distinct from clinker (SITC 66121) and specialty cements. Antidumping duty orders have historically covered Portland cement from several origins, making country-of-origin verification and scope ruling requests a routine compliance step for importers. Bulk and bagged presentations carry different logistics and packaging requirements, and gray versus white Portland cement may be classified separately depending on the applicable HTS schedule.

White Portland cement is produced from low-iron raw materials and commands a price premium for architectural and decorative concrete applications. At the HTS level, white and gray Portland cements may be classified under different 10-digit lines with distinct duty rates. Importers should confirm the correct subheading based on the product's iron oxide content and intended use, as misclassification between the two is a known audit risk.
Importers should first identify the country of origin and check the USITC and Commerce Department's active antidumping order list for cement. If the origin is covered, a scope ruling request to the Department of Commerce can clarify whether the specific product specification falls within the order. Working with a licensed customs broker experienced in construction materials is strongly recommended before committing to a supply contract.
