Frequently Asked Questions
Are ceramic floor and wall tiles under HTS 690790 subject to anti-dumping duties or import license requirements?
Yes, certain unglazed ceramic floor and wall tiles imported into the United States are currently subject to anti-dumping duty orders. Importers must file the appropriate AD/CVD case number (A-570-101) with U.S. Customs and Border Protection and may be required to pay cash deposits for estimated duties upon entry.
What are the specific packaging requirements for shipping unglazed ceramic floor and wall tiles (HTS 690790) to prevent breakage?
Unglazed ceramic tiles must be packed in robust, stackable crates or heavy-duty cartons with rigid corner protectors. Interior packaging must include full-separation dividers between each tile and adequate cushioning material, such as foam or air pillows, to prevent movement and tile-on-tile contact during transit, as breakage is a primary shipping risk for this commodity.
Common Classification Mistakes
A frequent error is classifying tiles with a water absorption rate of 0.5% or less as porcelain (HTS 6907.21) when they are for floor or wall use, which belongs under 6907.90. Also, ensure the tile is unglazed; glazed ceramic tiles fall under heading 6908. Do not classify here if the tile is mosaic (cubes), which is typically under 6908.10, or if it is a roofing tile, which is in heading 6905.
