U.S. exports of nontextile floor tiles (End-Use 13220) totaled $41.3M in April 2026, traded with 133 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataUS exports of ceramic, porcelain, stone, and resilient floor tiles serve construction and renovation markets globally, with American-made products often positioned on quality, consistency, and compliance with ANSI standards. Schedule B classification for exported tile follows the same material and technical criteria as the import side — water absorption rate for ceramic versus porcelain, and composition for stone or resilient tile — making accurate product data sheets essential for export documentation. Destination markets may impose their own technical standards or import licensing requirements for floor coverings, particularly for products used in commercial or public buildings. Resilient luxury vinyl tile (LVT) is a growing export segment, and its classification as a floor covering rather than a plastic article requires careful attention to product form.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
A manufacturer's test report confirming water absorption rate (typically per ISO 10545-3 or ASTM C373) is the key document for establishing porcelain classification. This should accompany the commercial invoice and packing list so that the destination country's customs authority can verify the classification without requesting additional samples or testing.
LVT is a resilient floor covering made primarily of PVC and is classified under a different Schedule B heading than ceramic or porcelain tile. The distinction matters because duty rates, technical standards, and any applicable trade measures at the destination differ between the two product types. Exporters should confirm the correct heading based on the tile's primary material and construction rather than its end use as a floor covering.
