HEADING

6907

CHAPTER

In plain English

This heading covers ceramic tiles, paving stones, and mosaic cubes, including those attached to a backing, as well as finishing ceramics. The items are split into groups based on how much water they absorb by weight. One group includes tiles with very low water absorption, while another covers those with moderate absorption, and a third covers those with high absorption. A separate category is reserved for mosaic cubes and other finishing ceramics.

Chapter 69 classification notes

Ceramic tiles from China face significant anti-dumping duties in the US (up to 222%) and EU. Weight-based transport costs are significant for ceramics. Porcelain vs stoneware classification affects duty rate.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

Porcelain (vitrified, translucent) vs stoneware (opaque, not fully vitrified) — the distinction affects classification and sometimes duty rate.

Classification certainty

The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
