6802.91Lower: 14.7% vs 43.5%

If primarily marble/granite aggregate with ceramic matrix

Shift to Chapter 68 if stone-based rather than pure fired clay ceramic, excluding from Chapter 69.

6905.10.00Higher: 48.5% vs 43.5%

If for unglazed versions

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify water absorption exceeds 10% via ASTM C373 testing; retain lab certificates for CBP review

Ensure tiles are fired post-shaping and not merely cured below 800°C to qualify under Chapter 69

Declare thickness if over 3.2 cm to avoid misclassification under tile exclusions in headings 6905/6907
