They would like to draw the attention to sub-chapter I of page 69 of the BTN in which it is mentioned in the General Heading B in respect of refractory goods that they are fired articles having the special property of resisting high temperatures as made in Metallurgy, the Glass Industry, etc. (e.g. of the order of 1500 C and higher).

Another reason why the lower authorities have not accepted their plea was that the material was not classifiable under Headings 69.02 and 69.03 as refractory products.
