Last updated: July 2026 dataCeramic, porcelain, stone, and resilient vinyl floor tiles are a broadly sourced import category in which Section 301 tariffs and antidumping/countervailing duty orders — particularly on ceramic tile from China — have materially shifted sourcing patterns toward alternative origins. Classification within this end-use group depends on tile composition: glazed versus unglazed ceramic, natural stone (marble, granite, slate), and resilient flooring (luxury vinyl tile, cork) each occupy distinct HTS headings. Water absorption rate is the key technical criterion that separates porcelain tile from standard ceramic tile under the HTS, making manufacturer test data a critical classification document. Importers should also verify country-of-origin marking requirements, as tile is a consumer product subject to CBP marking rules.

The HTS distinguishes porcelain tile from other ceramic tile based on water absorption thresholds defined in the chapter notes. Porcelain tile typically has a water absorption rate at or below 0.5%, and this technical specification — documented by ISO or ASTM test results from the manufacturer — determines which HTS subheading applies and therefore the applicable duty rate.
Active Section 301 tariffs and antidumping/countervailing duty orders on ceramic tile from China have led many importers to diversify toward suppliers in other countries. When evaluating alternative sources, importers should confirm that the new origin is not itself subject to separate trade-remedy orders and that the product specifications meet the same classification criteria to avoid unexpected duty exposure.
