These small glazed ceramic mosaic tiles, measuring 3 cm x 3 cm with a surface area under 38.7 cm², are designed for wall applications in bathrooms and kitchens. Fired after shaping with a water absorption exceeding 10% by weight, they fall under HTS 6907.23.30.00 due to their size, glazing, and high porosity classifying them as earthenware-type tiles.

Import Tips
• Verify water absorption exceeds 10% via ASTM C373 testing to confirm classification outside lower-porosity subheadings
• Provide fired ceramic certification and size measurements showing largest surface <38.7 cm² to avoid reclassification as larger tiles
• Watch for backing materials; if on mesh backing exceeding tile specs, it may shift to mosaic cube provisions
