Unglazed Ceramic Support Tiles from Germany
Unglazed ceramic support tiles are fired clay tiles that provide structural support in multi-layer flooring systems or wall assemblies, without any glaze coating. They are fired to hardness at temperatures exceeding 800°C, making them durable and suitable for load-bearing applications. These tiles fall under tariff item 6904.90.20 as support or filler tiles, as they are not flooring blocks and are fired ceramic products.

Import Tips
• Confirm that the tiles are fired above 800°C and not merely dried or cured, as lower-temperature products are excluded from Chapter 69
• Document the tile's intended use as a support element, not as a surface covering, to support classification under this tariff item
• Check that the tiles are not classifiable as flooring blocks (6904.90.10) or as articles of Chapter 94, such as furniture or lighting fittings
