Glazed Porcelain Kitchen Wall Tiles 20x20 cm from Germany

These small glazed porcelain tiles measure 20 cm x 20 cm, with low water absorption under 0.5% and a fired ceramic body, ideal for kitchen backsplashes. They fall under HTS 6907.21.90.11 as glazed tiles where the largest surface fits within a 30 cm square, suitable for wall applications. The high density and translucency confirm porcelain classification per Chapter 69 notes.

Import Tips

• Verify water absorption via ASTM C373 test (≤0.5%) with lab certification to confirm classification and avoid reclassification as higher absorption tiles

• Provide manufacturer specs showing largest surface enclosed in ≤30 cm square; measure precisely to prevent disputes on size criteria

• Ensure no backing or mosaic assembly, as those shift to other subheadings; declare as individual glazed tiles
