Unglazed Porcelain Paving Tiles 12x12 Inch from Canada
These 12x12 inch unglazed porcelain tiles are designed for outdoor paving applications, featuring a low water absorption rate between 0.5% and 10% achieved through high-temperature firing of clay and silica mixtures. They fall under HTS 6907.22.10.51 as unglazed wall or paving tiles with specified absorption, distinct from glazed or higher absorption products.

Import Tips
• Verify water absorption via ASTM C373 test (0.5-10% required); provide certified lab reports to CBP to avoid reclassification
• Ensure tiles are fired above 800°C post-shaping; include firing process documentation as ceramic products under Chapter 69 must meet this criterion
• Declare exact dimensions and confirm unglazed status; mislabeling as glazed can shift to 6907.22.20, increasing duties
